As per the title. I’m obviously an old Bustard. Somebody please explain Rule to me.
The history: https://i.redd.it/lgpet1ydu2v71.png
Rule 196 is what I’m assuming you’re talking about. It was a subreddit that gained popularity due to only having one rule, which is to post before leaving. The sub started after it’s predecessor, r/195, was shut down by the moderators
And worth pointing out that Lemmy has a c/195 and a c/196.
I blocked both of them because I just don’t want to see that many memes and /new was full of posts in those two communities. But clearly a lot of people are enjoying those.
Good thinking.
I blocked them this morning. Didn’t want to but it was overwhelming.
Thank you for this idea! I’ve been here like 24 hours and I’m already annoyed with them.
Ok. But what was r/195?
it’s the whole gimmick of a meme community called 196 where if you visit it, the one rule it has is that you have to post something before you leave
Lol it’s so funny to read the comments about people being annoyed by 195 and 196. It’s just old guys complaining that they don’t get the joke lol.
Thanks for asking OP, I had no idea either.
I know on Tumblr it means ‘if you laugh you have to reblog’, but judging from the posts on here I didn’t think it was the same
To an outsider it’s basically just a meme sub, but almost all the post titles contain (or are just simply) the word “Rule”.
