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.

God i love lemmy

19684 is a 196 comm where sex doesn't exist.

Literulely 19(6)84

[-] virku@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

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?

[-] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 40 points 1 year ago

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”.

[-] Dagnet@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

So we could have used 197 instead?

[-] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

that would have been so much better than onehundredandninetysix

[-] Irelephant@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

There was beef witht he 197 comm on reddit, it was just used as 196 but with laxer bigotry rules.

[-] PeaceNBullets@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Before you leave what? For the day?

[-] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Ie if a 196 post shows up, and you enter it, you’re now supposed to add a post to 196

I believe the original “rule” is relayed to a whiteboard on the dorm room door

You put something on it when you left, drew a picture, added to it.

The rule was “post before you leave”

Ie take a penny/leave a penny

It's a prophecy. When they reach 196 196-themed communities, 196 years of rule will begin.

[-] lugal@sopuli.xyz 15 points 1 year ago

Not to be confused with !1960s@lemmy.world

[-] MintyAnt@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

A sinful place

[-] atro_city@fedia.io 13 points 1 year ago

I've blocked every single one 🤷 It's just not my cup of tea and it's more noise in my feed.

[-] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 year ago

I don't know what to do with this information

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 8 points 1 year ago

Masturbate

[-] atro_city@fedia.io 8 points 1 year ago

Keep on truckin' friendo

[-] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Weep.

[-] MintyAnt@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Call them a slur

[-] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

That does not seem appropriate.

[-] MintyAnt@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Call them a type of fish perhaps?

[-] Zero22xx@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] mesamunefire@piefed.social 12 points 1 year ago

I'm tempted to make a 196 piefed feed of just Lemmy communities so you can all be Spartacus.

[-] Laurentide@pawb.social 10 points 1 year ago

We have a 196 now?

[-] MintyAnt@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

We have a 196 now.

[-] threeduck@aussie.zone 6 points 1 year ago

This episode originally aired in 1999. The N64 was still current gen hardware, google was only a year old, Bill Clinton was the US President, the first iPod was still 2 years away.

[-] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

Definitely a too many cooks in the kitchen situation 🤣

[-] Zizzy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago

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
