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.

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

IM TRYING TO POST TO FOLLOW THE RULE BEFORE LEAVING BUT I KEEP GETTING AN ERROR THATI MUST SPECIFY WHAT COMMUNITY HELP PLEASE

I'm here to post before I leave. Or do I need to post content? Hell I dunno, Im just itching for the sub

[–] bloubz@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

iffy is not a common international english word and hard to understand for non-native English speakers

It’s in the Oxford Dictionary and it’s definition is the first thing that comes up when you google it…

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

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

Question is Lemmy.world affiliated with the tankies that made lemmygrad or is it separate? I didn't know about any of this prior so now I'm worried a bit

I may be stupid but did you mean not affiliated or not separate?

[–] moss@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Not affiliated

[–] gravelsDrachma@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago (7 children)

maybe consider (temporarily? permanently?) hiding vote-count on posts, to make it seem less dead in here. it doesn't matter how many votes a post has; it just matters whether it's higher or lower than others. for functional reasons, at least.

[–] Quetzacoatl@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

or we could just all stop caring about the vote count instead! why even pay attention to that? I'd honestly rather have two good comments on a post than 300 upvotes, or view counts, or whatever. couldn't care less about any of those.

[–] wildebeesties@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

I know it’s really hard not to notice the votes on a post or comment, even though I’m not actually looking for it. I do agree with the person you’re replying to that it does make everything feel dead. I just have to regularly remind myself that this isn’t Reddit and the site is growing. Just startling tbh. Going to look at someone’s suggestion for UI that let’s you remove vote counts to see if that helps

[–] two_wheel2@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I've got vote counts hidden in my UI so things don't feel dead for me, it also helps me resist group think to a varying extent

Why are downvotes disabled in this instance?

Finally. I am returned.

I was very randomly banned from the "real" 196 and never got unbanned, even after notifying the admins 3 times without response.

Also: Fuck Reddits CEOs.

[–] Sheeple@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I got banned because I accepted a free NFT thing without realising what it was. Lmao. Was during that time Gobby started power tripping with his autobans

Later I got banned from reddit entirely for saying "Men will blame everything before ever admitting that toxic masculinity might be the source of their misery"

So I switched to Lemmy 🩵🩵🩵

Sorry, I'm new here - "saying anything remotely iffy with a lemmygrad account" - what does this mean? TIA
