Sooo, what is 196? I don't get it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Yeah I have no idea why someone made a c/195 but it's not really relevant to the topic of where c/196 came from.

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

No offense, but that sounds like some cult stuff.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year 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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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

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