    one specific community, primarily one one instance. The concept of “rule” originates on r/196, where the only rule is that you have to post when you visit.

    Therefore, its easiest to write “posting because rule” in the title rather than something creative. AFAIK this eventually devolved into just saying “Rule” or some sort of play on it.

      At this point it’s almost a rule in itself that the title has rule in it in some way so there are many plays on the word but that’s not official it’s more of a community driven joke. It also came from the original 196 community on reddit.
