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.

IRL GORE IS NOT PERMITTED UNDER ANY CONDITION.

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.

          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;”

            That’s Popper’s and Milt.Friedman’s way of laundering fascism as a legitimate ideology, a useful tool for capitalist domination and anti-communism.

              Can you expand on what you were saying here? Are you saying the paradox of tolerance is itself promoting fascist ideology? Can you please explain?

    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.

      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
