Heads up, We are mostly moving this community over to Lemmy.world. If you’re wondering where most of the funny went, go to [email protected]! 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.

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 [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.

    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

      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.

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

          I have no idea, I think it means whatever you want it to mean. Usually folks interpret it as visiting the sub and then going to a different one but you could also interpret it as leaving permanently, like I said it isn’t actually enforced. It’s just meant to encourage lots of irreverent posting.

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

      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.

      Here are the things that get you banned:

      Things that get your post/comment removed:

      • anything in the banlist
      • posts that are so off topic/moldy that they don’t fit on 196 at all (very rare, not usually enforced)

    Hi! I don’t want to break any rules so I’d like to ask first, what are the rules on self promotion? I was thinking of making a post about a 20-30 minute queer fishing game I made for this year’s pride (this one to be specific) and thought it could be nice to share here but don’t want to break a rule to do so.

    I was wondering when someone would start discriminating based on what instance you made your account on…

      You can use 196 on a lemmygrad account, but because it’s by definition a tankie Lemmy site, you’re basically on probation.

                Now this is a wider issue, the Red Army did liberate the largest part of Europe from Nazi rule, the US basically tried to liberate France but the Red Army was in Germany before the US crossed the border. In Yalta the three, US/UK/USSR divided the pie, Spain and Greece went on the other half and remained fascist till the 70s (meaning anticapitalists were executed, prisoned, exiled, etc). Yugoslavia went its own way. The US UK handed Hung/CZ over to them, but unlike other places the USSR had to use force to take over what was given to them in the pe cutting.

                This is not defense of tankie-ism it is pretty much what happened. Now between 90 and 2024 the 90/1 agreement was no Nato expansion beyond its current borders, and that was severely violated by NATO, to the last ring around the chain being Ukr and Belarus. So the not so red not so hot army anymore had to either react or accept total defeat and submission to NATO. There was no alternative for Russia other than to turn history back which in 30y proved impossible.

                I am not passing judgement on which dictator is better, I hate Biden as much as the next guy, but the narrative of recent history appears to have left out all petitions to the UN filed by Russia for the violation of the agreement. The UN’s excuse, NATO is not a UN member, and you can’t blame any particular state member of NATO for what NATO does. Unfortunately a state (Russia) which wasn’t part of the Yalta agreement the SU was, signed an agreement with NATO, not with any particular country. They should have had a better lawyer and not a drunk for a president.

                So Russia will evolve to yet another oil-rich country that is blockaded and cut-off from world markets like Iran and Venezuela. Unlike Iranians and Venzuelans Russians get really nasty when they get pissed, hungry, or out of vodka. So this is not going to go well too far too long. We shall see. Oil production and distribution, held by a handful of US based multinationals, will increase their profits in a further restricted oil market. So Iran, Russia, and Venezuela’s isolation does serve a profitable industry’s interests.
