Community Rules

You must post before you leave

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.

Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.

Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".

Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.

Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.

Avoid AI generated content.

Avoid misinformation.

Avoid incomprehensible posts.

No threats or personal attacks.

No spam.

Moderator Guidelines

Moderator Guidelines

  • Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
  • Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
  • When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
  • Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
  • Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
  • Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
  • Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
  • Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
  • Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
  • Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
  • Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
  • Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
  • First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
  • Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
  • No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
  • Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
  • Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

I assume this is fine for the rules since punching Nazis is kinda the whole gist of 196. Also there's no real rules to follow 🤷‍♀️

One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast.

There's another that talks about a beast with 7 heads and 10 horns. There are 7 Trump towers and, from what I'm told, 10 antennae altogether on the buildings.

Oops it's antichrist again

My Bible thumping mother put her blinders on and voted the antichrist into office. I gotta say, if the Christians were right all along, I'll be laughing in her face as we both burn in hell for eternity.

If heaven exists, I have a feeling it will be full of people that are surprised it exists.

angels having therapy sessions with atheists, of course being completely understanding of their plight which just makes it even worse

[–] Freefall@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

I just remind them, The Deceiver isn't going to chuckle and taunt with obvious signs and abhorant behaviors....he is going to turn God's most faithful into his tools for manifesting his own desires on Earth....gay dudes fucking in a pool of blood surrounded by burning crosses are just people being trolls...the Christian Nationalists are the work of the devil coming to fruition.

(Not religious myself, but they eat that shit up)

Y'all joke but my conservative christian parents straight up said this exact same thing a couple years ago. They did not like him either.

Yeah, he held the one at his photoshoot upside down....imagine how quickly the right would be using MSPaint to draw the inverted cross on the cover if a Democrat did that!!

I literally fail to see why it's so hard to get people to believe me that the end of the world is happening, when it's being this fucking obvious.

[–] SpatchyIsOnline@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago
  • Covid
  • Ebola
  • 9/11 and the "war on terror"
  • The cold war
  • WW2
  • WW1
  • a whole host of other things before that

The world has felt like it's ending to a lot of people for many generations, yet somehow it never does. I'm not denying that the world is in a pretty awful state right now, but we have to hope things will get better because otherwise they never will.

Remember all the right-wing crazies that ran around saying Obama was the anti-Christ?

The rules don't matter. I got banned in violation of these lack of rules. This comment doesn't exist.

Edit: oh hey. I'm back.

Edit 2: wrong instance, I'm still banned. But I told them so: https://lemmy.world/comment/8194982

Remember when Joe Biden acknowledged his age, promised to only run for one term, and then make room for the next generation of Democrats back in 2020? And then remember when he abandoned that promise, demanded to run in 2024, closed out the field by threatening access to cabinet/donor pools if anyone crossed him, took the primary virtually uncontested, and immediately dropped out after the first debate because he got caught drooling all over himself?

Damn. Remember how this was all because of those damned Michigan Uncommitted voters protesting a genocide of their family and friends?

Honestly, if the Progressive Left is going to waste its vote during an uncontested primary, I question whether they should be allowed to vote at all.

Vote left and feel complicit, to a degree, for that candidates' policies related to Palestine. Vote right (or not at all) and feel complicit in further violence AND reduction in LGBT+ protections in my home country.

Yep, I made my choice in 'wasting' my vote. Crazy to me when people think not voting will get politicians to suddenly seek out their policies, when instead they'll just shift further to the right to capture politically active voters across the aisle.

Do you (presumed non-voter) feel responsible for any of what was just shot through executive orders today?

The purpose of the mark The mark is a sign of loyalty and worship to the beast. People who do not have the mark are unable to buy or sell, and may be put to death.

[–] jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

We are working on drafting a real set of rules right now. There will likely be a post about it later tonight.

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

sounds good :)

[–] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Drag got banned from the other one for advocating violence against Nazis, but this one has cool mods that actually respect the community's opinions. And this is a Nazi punching kind of community

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The most based Drag returns!

Wait they banning ppl at 196?

[–] EnIdiot@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Wait til the evangelicals read up on the Lunar Eclipse on Trump’s birthday where (like Revalations notes the Antichrist will be signaled by) the “moon will turn to blood.”

Selective insanity.

The fact that this meme makes sense is so surreal, imagine showing someone from 2012 this meme and telling them this is what we're posting in the future and it's unironic.

Idk I'm high as balls l

why would christians even like a persident who took a huge fat piss all over their religion and disrespected all of them during the inagaration?

[–] masquenox@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Christians have been accepting oppressors taking a piss on the teachings of JC since Constantine The (supposedly) "Great" did it all the way back in ancient times.

[–] kmaismith@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I was surprised to learn that Constantine is seen by many thought leaders in the protestant christian communities as a corruptor. Opinions of Constantine makes a fascinating litmus to start separating those who see religion as a source of power from those who see it as a calling to better the world. Not that most lay christians have a clue who he is, or his role in standardizing christianity to the Roman system of government, let alone the structural implications of the move

Because they're actually fascists masquerading as christians because they can use that as an excuse. Any actual christian believer would probably be compelled by their religion to put them to the sword or crucify them for all their sins.

me, a bible enthusiast, watching people take the piss in these comments

If you just look long enough you can find a prediction for everything in the bible.
