MODERATORS
==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.

MLs be like "the state will wither away bro, I swear it will work this time" and then create an authoritarian nightmare society again.
Although at least you're not getting anywhere with your stupid military fetishism, because you cannot topple an existing power through force of arms unless the state military is in tatters, and with the threat of nuclear war preventing any kind of large-scale engagement between major powers, good luck waiting for an opportunity.
The only way to topple a major developed government now is through the Union of Unions, striking with enough of the population to break the economy in half, and bring the establishment to the bargaining table with two options: give us what we want, worker democracy, or we take away your access to food, water and power. And if that worked, and then you authoritarian fuckers tried to pull your usual shit on us in the aftermath, we'd just strike again until it was your turn to choose between worker democracy or dying of thirst with no food and no power to make your demise any more comfortable.
Go and start, or join, a fucking union, and try to make things marginally better for your fellow workers, instead of doing nothing but sucking Stalin's necrotised dick over the internet.
I just need you to know this made me let out the loudest damned snort. Perfect description, 10/10 no notes.
