==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.

Are words like 'stupid' and 'crazy' considered slurs here

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

No?? Can't think of any context in which they would be

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.

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 🩵🩵🩵

How does one get flair here?

Also, because I'm bad at image-memeing, blåhaj sounds like what you do when you've had a few and a cop pulls you over.

Hi, may I please repost this as a reply within this comment section but with slightly different formatting for the sake of readability?

[-] slyme@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, the post is missing its newlines. If the post correctly used newlines, new paragraphs, and better markdown overall, it would probably look like:

The post, but correctly marked down.

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

[-] Lammy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Aren’t all statements prejudice? How can one even exist without judgement?

[-] FeatherConstrictor@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

[-] KillingAndKindess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

~~Test comment to see if still unable~~ issues seems to have been worked out. Ignore.

[-] gravelsDrachma@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] 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

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

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 7 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
