Sidebar doesn’t say why, but it does say I have to post, so I guess I’m posting to ask why!

        I’ve seen a couple of people say this now, so I will clarify that Ada did not open this community, SoleInvictus did! Ada did however feature it and make a post on the old 196 which lead here.

        Edit: This was supposed to be a reply to Stovetop :P oh well

      The end result is that there are now three 196 communities (plus a 4th on Hexbear I think) which are each relatively active.

      There’s also !19684@lemmy.blahaj.zone which is apparently “196 but no sex or hornyposting”

        19864 is also a combination of 196 and libertyhub. Mostly apolitical memes with a few leftist memes sprinkled in and like libertyhub annoying libs who call all leftists “tankies” arent allowed.

      This one on Blahaj has by far the most posts. The “original” Blahaj 196 and .world 196 have fewer posts but their most upvoted ones tend to have around the same or slightly more upvotes than the most upvoted posts on here.

      It’s all so stupid though. Why don’t they at least close one of the two 196’s? If their migration failed, just admit it and close the community on World. If they truly want to migrate and don’t want to moderate on Blahaj under Ada, then close the old one.

      I’ve noticed that lemmy.world is delisted from most instance lists, so it’s interesting that they’d choose that one. Thank you for the answer!

    I like it here cause they just made rules against tankie behavior. Yes this has kicked up a lot of dirt as the tankies are kicking and sealioning like they usually do when pushed against. But as an anarchist, I like that they have taken this stance as it makes me feel welcome. They also are cracking down on any sort of bigotry in general which I like that they are making it a safe and welcoming place. Lastly, I think the posts are better (although you might be seeing a lot of pro and anti-tankie posting till the dust settles). I just blocked the lemmy.ml instance cause I am fed up with their bullshit

    What pissed me off was when one of the original mods of the original community pretty much stated that they “owned” the community and can do what they want with it… I was uncomfortable being around that kind of mindset.
