Rule

What does it mean?!

38 comments

There is a community called 196, their only rule is to post something before leaving.
So glad I blocked that dumb shit. I really wish people would leave Reddit behind when coming here.
- I like it. It adds a lot of content to my feed, even if most of it is shitposting
  
  Yeah I can't blame them for posting content. It's not ideal that 169 and shitposting take up 80% of my feed, but it's better than nothing, right?
  
  I like it too. Back in Reddit I never saw/heard about that community. I have grown fond of their humor here on Kbin. It gets at least a couple of laughs a day, and I've even laughed out loud on some occasions.
- Well ain’t you just a peach
- Could be worse. At least we don't have "dubs" threads like 4chan does.
  
  Turning dubs back on right before he left was the final middle finger from moot, I suspect.
  
  I have no idea what any of that means, but I’ll definitely take your word for it.
Rule 34
- Not that rule
  
  The rule is post something before you leave, not "don't post rule 34" before you leave.
Communities usually named 195 or 196 have a rule that if you go there you have to post something. So people will post something and title it "Rule." And it leads to a bunch of low effort crap posts.

Just block any 195 and 196 communites to save your feed from getting overwhelmed with bad posts.
- Even though, I am no fun of low effort content, there is so few active community that it's a bit refreshing to see content, even low effort, also they spread to much over Lemmy, that looks like it'll contaminate lemmy's culture which is great to become something else than redditfugees
  
  If you think there are few active communities on Lemmy, you may be looking in the wrong place.
What's the history behind the 195/196 name?
