Sorry for two new pinned posts within the span of 24 hours. after coming back I figured some of the rules needed some updating, and it is policy to put any rule change up to vote for the members.
The two changes I currently would like to make, is increased enforcement of the moldy posting rule, and a new rule banning AI generated content.
moldy posting is when you post a meme that you would find on your aunt’s Facebook page or Elon musk’s Twitter account. I’m talking properly old, moldy, watermarked, painfully irrelevant posts. I think we should remove them simply because they kind of suck, and removing them would raise the level of quality of 196.
I believe we should ban AI generated content because it is exploitative by nature, and I don’t think we should be feeding it.
please discuss in the comments, and vote on whether or not you think these changes should be made. vote on each change separately. if there are any other rule changes that you would like to suggest, now is the time.
I agree to both rule changes. Thanks for modding!!! And Thanks everyone in m/196 for keeping me laughing!
I don’t like the idea of increasing enforcement against moldy posts, just because I’m not super plugged in to things and I don’t always know if something is moldy when I post it. Over enforcement of those kind of subjective rules tends to make it difficult for newbies to post.
Completely on board with a no AI art rule though. Fuck AI.

AI poster spotted
I don’t think this sub should have any more rules.
Ai images can be very funny. And who cares about moldy images? Just downvote.
we don’t have downvotes
Forgot about that, lol.
So stupid.
I wonder what happens if I downvote you.
I think it actually does change things but only for your specific instance, rather than globally all instances
I’m fine with banning both of these.
Totally in favor in banning AI content.
Sometimes moldy content is funny, often times it just doesn’t land. Part of my concern with a moldy ban is that it seems a bit vaguely defined as is.
Agreed. One man’s mold is another man’s psychedelic substance. It’s a subjective line that varies for everyone.
AI is easy because the line is clear.
Maybe instead of banning mouldy memes, there could be restrictions for when they can be posted. Mouldy Monday or something.
This is good
Eh, yah, think those sound like good rules but I wouldn’t worry about enforcing them to hard unless there’s someone flaunting them repeatedly.
Put a chick in it and make her gay
What if there were like a “moldy Monday” thing instead of an outright ban? I agree with others that they’re fun ironically.
Absolutely in favor of banning AI generated content though.
Moldy Mondays & Fermenting Fridays for all!
water is sick and gross and chocolate milk is better
Blocked and reported. Unless you’re drinking chocolate milk with your spaghetti, as Chuck Tingle intended.
I see someone has chosen violence today
don’t really care either way about the ai thing but deffo ban moldy posts. we already have [email protected] or [email protected] for that kinda stuff
I’m against banning moldy posting, I agree with banning AI
I’m in favor of the anti AI rule but against the anti moldy posts rule.
Also, could you remove that image from the post, I almost reported the post for “unflagged NSFW” because of it.
Edit: Reported it after an hour for the “unflagged NSFW” maybe that will get their attention on removing the image from the post because there’s literally no reason for it to be there.
Agreed on removing the image. I upvoted because I thought it was a regular post and not a rule change
I only visited this post because of the image & now I’m performing cunnilingus on a bowl of Mac & Cheese.
Please remove the image.
It’s starting to boil over! Someone put a lid on it!
IDKAYBI hope she smells like Limburger and dirty socks.
Me too
gormadt I would like to remind you of our NSFW rules. skimpy clothing is not considered NSFW, and neither are breasts. maybe if it was just the woman on the left, it would count as softcore porn, but in the context of my macaroni is a lesbian by Chuck tingle it is obviously more funny than “sexy”
Also agree entirely. The moldy posting is funny because it’s not and it deserves to be here.
What do you mean by ‘increased enforcement of the moldy posting rule’? I thought we only had one rule? /srs
The rules are pinned to the community homepage. think of it like one rule, but lots of regulations
This is all I see pinned on the homepage:
And the sidebar:
that’s weird. maybe it’s federation issues?
I don’t see any rules either. I thought this community was like the Reddit one with minimal rules. A shame really.
That’s so weird it’s been pinned for like 8 months. also the Reddit community literally has rules
I can now see the pinned post so whatever you did worked.
Personally I think all rules should go in the sidebar and not a post but that’s just my opinion.
I repinned it. it seems to be if your instance is newer than when the post was pinned, it won’t show up.
I’ve just went to the community from your instance, and it doesn’t appear there either. (I wasn’t logged in though, if you’d like I could log in and try again.)
