As per the title. I’m obviously an old Bustard. Somebody please explain Rule to me.

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
It’s annoying AF, much like the habit of people posting comments consisting of “Based” all over the place in recent times. The latter is dying down fortunately, and I hope the R meme meets a quick and painful death very soon.
The block feature is your friend. Use it liberally and don’t feel bad about it.
Seriously, if everyone blocked communities they disagree with or aren’t interested in instead of resorting to the old toxic behaviors that would be a huge improvement.
