196 is the best thing that happened to this site

Jee, fortunately they're all English speaking people so they're not flooding into local instances 😵 Btw, what is the 196 number referring to?

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

Half of us are billingual lol, but I haven't encountered any local instance

There was a sub named 195 that got banned, don't know more than that

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

didn't get banned, mods deleted it bc they are chads

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year 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

I love Mastodon but I really miss the shitpost. Now I’m on lemmy and most of my homepage is shitposts. I love you guys.

We smash the numbers and make rhem big

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

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

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

Still better than Reddit

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

How do i block this subreddit

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

On desktop: to the right of the post. "Block community"

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (5 children)

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

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

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

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

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

Sounds fun!

[–] [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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Disproportionately anti communism/fascism too.

Just an observation

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

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

[–] [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

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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)

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

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

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

Guys apartment number who made sub reddit

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

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.
