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 [email protected]. 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

[–] [email protected] 38 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Why are they even allowed to federate here

[–] [email protected] 34 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 40 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.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 62 points 1 year ago (7 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;"

Being against humans can't possibly be a human ideology, so fascists don''t count under this protectionist umbrella, I hope.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I will upvote literally anything that has "fuck" and "spez" in the same sentence.

[–] [email protected] 47 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Spez is so hot, I want to fuck him.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Idk, you're probably too old for him.

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

they are ruining leftist unity

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 39 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

[–] [email protected] 33 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well sort of the point of 196 is that you can post almost anything, the only rule is that you have to post each time before leaving. This rule isn't enforced for obvious reasons, unlike the ban against tankies.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

before leaving as in before switching to another community while browsing? or as in when you unsubscribe? and what if I never leave

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've got a slight suggested edit

Basically the first item to get banned adding Hexbear to the list with Lemmygrad

I've been seeing a huge influx of tankie takes from hexbear accounts all over (and here) since they federated

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My team is on it, and I will personally pitch in in dealing with it once auditions are over for the thing I'm working on

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Thank you and I'm happy to hear it

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago

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

I’m curious to know more context abt the statement revolving around hexbear & lemmygrad? I’m very new to the fediverse so i don’t know much about these instances

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Tankie pro-mao/stalin cesspools that ferment people in a powerful echo chamber. Basically hyper-reactionist toxic "leftists" looking for any excuse to stir up trouble
