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.

...What's the difference? "Tankie" is just meaningless lib perjorative anymore, and it's impossible for you to not know and observe that.

A Tankie is anyone who's an apologist for the Chinese, soviet, North Korean, or other more minor fascist/opressive States. The are the Communists who yearn to lick the boot of Big brother, rather than truly empower the people

Those states were state capitalism under authoritarianism. But I think a small portion of people on these communist actually support what has been done under these regimes but rather want to support communism where some chance had been given (by Lenin at early years for example)

[–] AnarchoBolshevik@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Hold on a minute, are you saying that the capitalists in China, Russia, and N. Korea institutionalized ultranationalist, petit‐bourgeois movements to reinforce capital and maintain their levels of profits? Can you show me when this happened?

...So, every actually existing socialist project, you think are genocidal despots. That's what I mean when I say 'you glow'. You are the feds, you are 5-0, you are twelve, you are a pig, you are a WHOLE cracker, hold the saltine.
