==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 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.
saying anything remotely iffy with a lemmygrad account
based
Unfathomably based
how tankies are still surprised that fascist apologia gets them banned in an antifascist community is beyond me
Why are they even allowed to federate here
The main dev of lemmy is one of them, that’s how.
this instance isn’t associated with the devs
why does this comment dance between ultra-naive to ultra-troll in my mind?
Can you please ban me for 5 days so that I know what it looks like on this platform?
I’ll ban you for one day because you didn’t do anything against the rules
It was fine. Thanks.

Based rules :3
Welcome to the mod team!
wow it’s that easy?
Based rules :3
Lol no I know kiwi personally. In order to appoint someone to be a mod, they need to have commented somewhere in the community.
hehe I know that, I am just being silly <33
Have a nice day! UwU positivityyyyy
Can someone explain the no AI rule? I keep tripping over that one. @moss@lemmy.blahaj.zone
No AI generated content, so no Midjourney, ChatGPT, etc.
There are several reasons for this:
- It’s low effort content that can drown out things people have put actual effort in (but that’s not really a problem here since 99% is low effort shitposts anyway)
- Its training material is gathered without permission of the authors.
- It’s wasteful in terms of energy and thus emissions
Thanks. I couldn’t wrap my head around it.
I don’t really agree, with the viewpoint, but I’ll continue to try and be mindful of the stuff I post.
Could you elaborate how you disagree with 2 & 3?
not OP but someone did a pretty good writeup on 3) a year ago
tw reddit link (ew) https://old.reddit.com/r/aiwars/comments/11v5ovu/energy_footprint_of_ai_image_as_against_a_piece/jcsj7uy/
Oh man that post is a hot mess. Comparing energy used by a human to AI? Guess we don’t need all those artists, better round em up and eliminate them because of some reddit math.
that’s the argument OOP was making. I didn’t make it, I never said we should remove human artists. I think human creativity/creation will and should become even more valued in the coming years. You’re putting words in my mouth, that’s not very nice.
You called the write up pretty good, idk man I was just responding to the information provided. Not really putting words in anyone’s mouth but my own.
fuck ai that’s why
What is corpoposting? I am dumb baby
Do I have to post an image? Is the OP’s image an example of what to do or what not to do?
real question. I’m assuming from the name that you can say trans rights are important. killing Nazis here is cool right? like opening up the physical rack, pulling out the backup drive, and bludgeoning them with it inside the housing? or would that be a violation of tos with your hosting company? is it only okay to suggest shooting them? do I have to be clear its only okay to do outside the data center where youre hosted?
I’ve been seeing more posts featuring companies, like this one.
I think there should be some rule about advertisement. We probably shouldn’t ban all mentions of companies, but some limits should be in place.
I have made a poll to see whether or not I should start removing posts like these
Hey @moss@lemmy.blahaj.zone - thanks for these!
Make sense to add a link to this post to the sidebar?
Proposed Text:
Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
For 196’s community rules, see this stickied post
they did it they kicked the tankies out of 196
Literally 196
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 :]
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.
Aren’t all statements prejudice? How can one even exist without judgement?
What’s the situation with the lemmy community now that the subreddit is back open?
We’re continuing on as normal
Staying on Lemmy
Not part of the community here just see you guys in All a lot, what is the reasoning behind having the word rule in all your posts? Just curious.
Rule: you must post before you leave
Maybe I’m stupid but I still don’t understand.
You’re supposed to post before you leave (however you interpret that). I think they’re saying “Rule” in their posts to show they’re posting to follow that rule. That’s my interpretation anyway- only been here like a week and trying to figure out Lemmy
