Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.

Rule: You must post before you leave.

MODERATORS
 

==please incorporate the word rule in your post titles==
Here are the things that get you banned:
-saying anything remotely iffy with a lemmygrad or hexbear account
-tankie behaviour
-nazi behaviour
-authoritarian behaviour
-genocide denial
-prejudice of any kind
-anything else that is clearly bad

Things that get your post/comment removed:
-AI generated content
-anything in the banlist
-posts that are so off topic that they don't fit on 196 at all
-moldy memes (old memes, crusty memes, irrelevant memes. The type of things you'd see on your aunt's Facebook page or Elon musk's Twitter account with a laughing emoji as the caption)
-corpoposting

Ban length varies, and is mostly based off of whether or not I think you will change your behavior. I have baned certain people for upwards of 2000 days.

---------EDIT:NSFW RULES---------
NSFW Content is now fully permitted BUT it must be tagged. Any NSFW content that has not been tagged and blurred will be removed. Content warnings should also be added to the title in brackets. Example: [penis] or: [explicit description of sex].
Non-sexualized breasts of any gender are not considered inappropriate and therefore do not need to be blurred/tagged. Yes, even female breasts.

IRL GORE IS NOT PERMITTED UNDER ANY CONDITION.

Please leave any suggested edits in the comments.

JAN 2024 UPDATE: MOLDY MONDAYS
Monday is now moldy Monday. on this day and only this day moldy memes are not only allowed, but encouraged. The crustier the better. The type of thing that's been reposted at least 2,000 times with filters and bad crops and watermarks and hopefully minions. please caption with moldy rule

If you have any issues, please reach us at 196mods@protonmail.com. PLEASE do not dm me, as I am not consistently available and tend to step away from the mantle for weeks to months at a time.

how tankies are still surprised that fascist apologia gets them banned in an antifascist community is beyond me

[–] darcy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Why are they even allowed to federate here

[–] curiosityLynx@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The main dev of lemmy is one of them, that's how.

[–] ReveredOxygen@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

this instance isn't associated with the devs

I mean, it says in the post, they're allowd to federate but are "on probation"

[–] CorruptBuddha@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Probably because banning people based purely on political ideology is kind of facist 😝

[–] lasandra@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Reminds me exactly on the wise words of Sir Karl Popper about the 'paradox of tolerance':

"Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.—In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be most unwise. But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force;"

wow it's that easy?

Based rules :3

[–] moss@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

Lol no I know kiwi personally. In order to appoint someone to be a mod, they need to have commented somewhere in the community.

[–] dsmaster7173@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

they did it they kicked the tankies out of 196

[–] lugal@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

An authoritarian communist that is supportive of Russia, China or other repressive eegimes.

[–] Rekticulum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

TFW the other leftists wont let you try to subvert the movement into “the people’s fascism”

they are ruining leftist unity

[–] Sheeple@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Nah nah you gotta REDEFINE fascism to be anything that even remotely criticises Russia 😎

posts that are so off topic that they don't fit on 196 at all

What is the topic? Is this like a de-facto meme community? I often used the subreddit to post things like media reccomendations and talk about random stuff without any images. Would that be allowed here? thanks in advance :]

[–] moss@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 months ago

if there were to be a post that was, for example, "Chicago bulls pull dylan gongsworth from the minnesota rufflers, leading to widening predicted point gap" and it was like a photo of football, or a link to an article, we'd remove it.

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago

Hey @moss@lemmy.blahaj.zone - thanks for these!

Make sense to add a link to this post to the sidebar?

Ah yes, some good news today as well

Happy to see this community is starting off on the right foot

[–] jojo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Stupid question but; where can I find the banlist? I haven't seen a link to it in the sidebar, nor this list

I have a fuckton of stupid memes I collected over be years and I kinda wanna post those, but I have no idea which memes are banned rn lmao

Edit: wait I found an explanation; https://lemmy.world/comment/185002

So basically the banlist rule is "don't repeat anything people said in the modlog", or something to that degree?

[–] catsup@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why are downvotes disabled in this instance?

[–] moss@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Idk I'm not an admin

[–] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Because of the Reddit migration, 196 is coming up in my Lemmy feed a lot, I have no idea what it is (because you haven't made a description).

This could be your chance to gain more community members if you update your description

[–] moss@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago

None of us have any issue with communists

[–] moss@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 10 months ago

I've updated the rules to add moldy Mondays

Based, thanks moss

[–] KISSmyOS@feddit.de 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Will I get banned if I leave without posting?

[–] queue@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

Confirming here for Moss that I've changed user accounts.
