This reminds me of the Up Against The Wall Mother Fucker activist group in the late 60s. They did cool shit and intentionally named themselves something that couldn’t be co-opted.

Much like Bill the Cat himself, intended to be comically unmarketable despite in-BloomCounty-universe being famous and widely marketed.

So does the weird abduction of 196 mean there are two competing communities?

(bc there are actually 3! we are actually in the 3rd right now but Ada changed the name so you can hardly tell:-)

I mean... give it time, we'll make as many as needed:-)

There already was 196 on .world. they removed the old mod and then added the blahaj mods as part of this "move"

So there's always has been two communities, but now some people thinking they are leaders have taken a walk.
