NSFW: NSFW content is permitted but it must be tagged and have content warnings. Anything that doesn't adhere to this will be removed. Content warnings should be added like: [penis], [explicit description of sex]. Non-sexualized breasts of any gender are not considered inappropriate and therefore do not need to be blurred/tagged.

MODERATORS
 

Heads up, We are mostly moving this community over to Lemmy.world. If you're wondering where most of the funny went, go to !196@lemmy.world! If you're wondering why we did this, click here.

==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.

JAN 2025 UPDATE: One Hundred Ninety Six
Following our mishandling of the lemmy.world migration, a group of dissenting users founded onehundredninteysix, here on lemmy.blahaj.zone. We are not affiliated with this group. Please direct any complaints related to that community to their mod team and/or Ada.

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.

saying anything remotely iffy with a lemmygrad account

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

[–] darcy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Why are they even allowed to federate here

[–] curiosityLynx@beehaw.org 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] ReveredOxygen@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

this instance isn't associated with the devs

Blahaj.zone isn't run by the Devs of Lemmy, they could easily block both Lemmygrad and lemmy.ml if they wanted. They just choose not to for some reason.

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

[–] lasandra@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 years 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;"

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 4 points 9 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.

[–] Rekticulum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[–] bandario@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Can you please ban me for 5 days so that I know what it looks like on this platform?

[–] moss@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I'll ban you for one day because you didn't do anything against the rules

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

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?

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

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

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