==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.

      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

      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.

        well you could follow the rule “if it’s reported or someone comments that they’re offended by a slur like retard, remove it”. Or would that be too little moderation in your opinion?

        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.
