It's just a shitposting community where the rule is that you have to post something if you visit the community. Notably, the 196 community is disproportionately queer and/or trans, for some reason.

Disproportionately anti communism/fascism too.

Just an observation

[–] 8InchRichard@lemmy.blahaj.zone 33 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Very anti fascist. Tends to be Anti capitalist and pro socialism/communism. Just really hates imperialism and totalitarian countries/regimes which puts the community at odds with any community groups that are particularly pro Russia/China

Really? I always assumed there were a lot of anti-authoritarian communists.

[–] animelivesmatter@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

some people think that being anti-authoritarian implies being anti-communist

and by some people I mean liberals and tankies

[–] Gormadt@beehaw.org 26 points 2 years ago (2 children)

196 is the apartment of awesome

Share a meme when you're here, it's the rule

Welcome to the party, we've got blajah, memes, LGBTQ+, and no tankies

[–] deaf_fish@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Sounds fun!

[–] eyeoftheavocado@lemmy.one 22 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The less you try to understand it, the better it is.

[–] deaf_fish@lemm.ee 12 points 2 years ago (3 children)

No offense, but that sounds like some cult stuff.

[–] animelivesmatter@lemmy.world 25 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's not a cult. Who told you it was a cult? Whoever told you that is clearly problematic and you should cut them out of your life.

[–] FallGuy217@lemmy.one 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wow, that doesn’t sound like a cult at all! Sign me up!

[–] animelivesmatter@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

All you have to do is give me $1000 (it's not a pyramid scheme either)

[–] FallGuy217@lemmy.one 3 points 2 years ago

Definitely, just need to email this Nigerian prince back real quick

[–] barsoap@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago

Technically, we're not organised enough to be one.

[–] whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

or my brain

[–] RealAndGay@beehaw.org 13 points 2 years ago

The rule is, when you view the 196 sub, you must post before leaving. Anything.

[–] halva@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 2 years ago

it is (was?) a post anything subreddit with a lot of queer people

[–] OttoVonNoob@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Guys apartment number who made sub reddit

[–] Lanthanae@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wasn't it his neighbor because r/195 was the original but fell off?

[–] OttoVonNoob@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'm not sure? There's a 195 on here as well so I'm confused.

Fun fact: That dust cloud is known as a "haboob"

[–] barsoap@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Fun fact: With mods, you can romance Panam as female V.

[–] s_s@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago

Fun Fact: today is the first day of Arizona's Monsoon season, the time of year you are most likely to encounter a haboob.

196 sweep

[–] patchymoose@beehaw.org 16 points 2 years ago

Still better than Reddit

[–] thesanewriter@vlemmy.net 15 points 2 years ago

It is true, and it is good.

We smash the numbers and make rhem big

[–] peanuts4life@beehaw.org 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm too afraid to ask what the rule is.

[–] abclop99@beehaw.org 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Be sure to follow the rule before you head out. Rule: You must post before you leave with proper flair without using slurs, being a bigot, posting porn, or having an NFT avatar. [NFTs are banned.] If any mods from reddit are here MSG me I will help give this to you. Just need proof it is the same people

[–] CoderKat@kbin.social 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thank god the NFT avatars are no more. If any Fediverse instance tries to support NFTs, we must collectively agree to nuke them from orbit (or at least block the server from the rest of us).

My fav sub 🙏

[–] Lanthanae@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 2 years ago

Being on the same instance as Lemmy's 196 is both the best and worst part of this entire experience...

...and I wouldn't have it any other way

[–] e8d79@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

Ever since I subscribed my subscription feed is basically unusable. 👍

[–] Adolf@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

[–] cornballdefense@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 years ago
