MODERATORS
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.
There is a community called 196, their only rule is to post something before leaving.
Rule 34
Not that rule
The rule is post something before you leave, not "don't post rule 34" before you leave.
What's the history behind the 195/196 name?
So glad I blocked that dumb shit. I really wish people would leave Reddit behind when coming here.
Well ainβt 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 Iβll definitely take your word for it.
Every post on a chan-style imageboard has a number. If the last two digits are the same, it's "dubs."
Now imagine a million threads full of nothing but people trying to get dubs on their comment. Yeah, it's really that stupid.
The creator of 4chan (moot) turned them off at some point (as in, it would skip any number with dubs, but not trips or above), but right before he sold 4chan he turned them back on.
Oh god thatβs embarrassing.
