Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.


Rule: You must post before you leave.

Behavior rules:

Posting rules:

NSFW: NSFW content is permitted but it must be tagged and have content warnings. Anything that doesn't adhere to this will be removed. Content warnings should be added like: [penis], [explicit description of sex]. Non-sexualized breasts of any gender are not considered inappropriate and therefore do not need to be blurred/tagged.

MODERATORS
 

Heads up, We are mostly moving this community over to Lemmy.world. If you're wondering where most of the funny went, go to !196@lemmy.world! 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 196mods@protonmail.com. 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.

Can someone explain the no AI rule? I keep tripping over that one. @moss@lemmy.blahaj.zone

No AI generated content, so no Midjourney, ChatGPT, etc.

There are several reasons for this:

  1. It's low effort content that can drown out things people have put actual effort in (but that's not really a problem here since 99% is low effort shitposts anyway)
  2. Its training material is gathered without permission of the authors.
  3. It's wasteful in terms of energy and thus emissions

Thanks. I couldn't wrap my head around it.

I don't really agree, with the viewpoint, but I'll continue to try and be mindful of the stuff I post.

Could you elaborate how you disagree with 2 & 3?

Oh man that post is a hot mess. Comparing energy used by a human to AI? Guess we don't need all those artists, better round em up and eliminate them because of some reddit math.

[–] msgraves@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

that’s the argument OOP was making. I didn’t make it, I never said we should remove human artists. I think human creativity/creation will and should become even more valued in the coming years. You’re putting words in my mouth, that’s not very nice.

[–] Sunforged@lemmy.ml 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You called the write up pretty good, idk man I was just responding to the information provided. Not really putting words in anyone's mouth but my own.

I never said we dONT nEED aLL tHeSE aRTiSTS, I gave you a pretty convincing refutal to the argument that AI uses more energy than human artists. Not anything else.
