MODERATORS
This is the way
The mods at 196@lemmy.blahaj.zone decided they didnt like the rules at Lemmy.blahaj.zone, and wanted to move to Lemmy.world.
Lemmy.world is.... We'll just say not great for lgbtqia+, especially in consideration of the "teach the controversy" rule that was coming from the admins and is "currently being reworded".
Those mods closed 196@lemmy.blahaj.zone, and tried to force everyone to .world. Thus was met with... Disagreement.
They reopened 196@Lemmy.blahaj.zone, but the damage was done, and trust was lost. !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone was created as the safe alternative from the mods who wanted the ability to allow problematic commenters.
So thats about the story there.
Hey, that's Squidward Gary!
"......meOW."
19684 is a 196 comm where sex doesn't exist.
Literulely 19(6)84
I've blocked every single one 🤷 It's just not my cup of tea and it's more noise in my feed.
I need to shop around for apps again and find one that allows you to hide communities from the feed instead of outright blocking them. Because I'd like to still visit the onehundredandninetysix community from time to time, just not have it showing up in feeds. Because especially in Blåhaj, it just overpowers everything else in the local feed, so you barely get to see the topics that the instance actually revolves around. And now there's fucking two of them.
I don't know what to do with this information
Keep on truckin' friendo
Weep.
I have no idea what 196 means. My attempts to google it seams to mean some sort of stream og conciousness. So does it mean post anything you like?
Once, there was a Reddit sub called 195 that was just named after the dorm number of the roommates who founded it. It got bigger than they intended and they shut it down, so 196 was made.
The only rule of 196 is to post before you leave, which is why most of the posts say “rule”.
So we could have used 197 instead?
It's a prophecy. When they reach 196 196-themed communities, 196 years of rule will begin.
I'm tempted to make a 196 piefed feed of just Lemmy communities so you can all be Spartacus.
Definitely a too many cooks in the kitchen situation 🤣
Not really, another user explained it, but 196 at blahaj and world needed to be splintered from because of the mods, and the one on pawb is sprcifically for furry memes. 19684 i think also has a specific gimmick but im not sure what it is. So none of them are really interchangeable
