==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.

      Or that the crimes of communist countries were exaggerated to comical levels, including blood libel like “the enriched bread was made with the crushed bodies of aborted Christian fetuses” in order to justify arresting Jews, and like Falun Gong organ harvesting claims the exact details of the allegations are tastefully edited, filtering visible contaminants from the brackish filth of the right wing fever swamp and pouring it into the reservoir?

        “Oh, our cult’s qiqong is so good ChiNazi harvests our organs to sell to Jews for their rituals, and every cultivation group and traditional religious group approved by the government are all in on it.” is the sort of freak show shit that HongKongers actually believe and this shit gets cleaned up and repeated by people who one would think should know better until you realize that many Holocaust collaborators were educated liberals who kept up with international news because that’s how the brain worms got them.

          Sort of like how in Egypt it’s the liberals who are transphobes and conservatives are supportive unless they’re westernized Muslim Brotherhood regime change agents.
