MODERATORS
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.
Those with accounts created on lemmygrad (an instance created specifically for tankies) are basically on probation. If they misbehave even a little they get kicked out.

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.
This looks cute. I like your artstyle.
It's allowed for now. If self promo becomes A problem, I'll hold another poll.
Thank you, sounds good! I'll only do one post so I can make sure it's not spammy.
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…

Why are downvotes disabled in this instance?
Idk I'm not an admin
Are words like 'stupid' and 'crazy' considered slurs here
No?? Can't think of any context in which they would be
punk-ass bitch? sexy fuccboi? plant? bratwurst? nword when used by a PoC? Any of those?
Well I only know what some of those mean, but pretty much any normal swear is allowed, including bitch as long as it's not being used in a derogatory sense towards women. The n-word is blanket banned not because I have any problem with black people using it, but rather because I don't have any way of verifying that the people using it are actually black. Same goes for other slurs that have been reclaimed.
That's good
I was on Raddle and they treat those words like they're equivalent to the r-slur, so it's good to have a Reddit alternative with at least a shred of sanity
r-slur
redditor?
shhhh you can't say r*dditor here
Lmao i thought I was the only one that remembered Raddle
There are some communities that consider them to be slurs against neurodivergent people. There's definitely an argument to be made there but at the same time they're so commonly used to refer to neurotypical people as well that it's also easy to argue that they don't do enough harm to be considered slurs.
bruh idiot hasn't been a slur since the 1800s what are those mods from fucking bloodborne or smth
Methinks perchance they've been imbibing the 40-rod.
????
Translation: "I believe they may have been drinking heavily."
Ah. No, actually. I don't drink.
They were referring to the mods from bloodborne
I'm fucking stupid
Why do you have mods who have advanced the claim that Jews deserved the Holocaust because "Communism is just as genocidal as Naziism" and it's really a tit-for-tat?
Wtf no we don't. I'm the only actual mod and I'm JEWISH like
Do I have to link to an article explaining that Double Genocide Theory was created by Nazis and their sympathizers to JUSTIFY the Holocaust after denial failed?
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.
No problem
can you ban me for 10 minutes?
Permaban this fool 😈
communism good; capitalism bad; is that iffy?
None of us have any issue with communists
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
No. It is not
I may be stupid but did you mean not affiliated or not separate?
Not affiliated
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.
