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.
We have a 196 now?
We have a 196 now.
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

Can you explain how world is notbgreat for LGBT people?
Or is this just about the whole neopronoun thing?
You prove the point by saying “just the neopronoun thing”
I am lgbtq and am not a fan of neo pronounce. Mostly though because in my mother tounge they dont fit in dynamicly at all.
Doesnt mean i am a danger to people like that lol
Listen, I ain’t huge on neo-pronouns but I use them anyways because I respect and care about people enough to use their preferred pronouns because no matter your reasons for not liking them, it doesn’t out weight the harm and disrespect you are doing to the other person. It is misgendering plain and simple, there is no real difference between misgendering someone who uses neopronouns and misgendering someone who doesn’t.
Yep yep yep. I don’t like em either but that doesn’t matter
Do I?
Yes, because your phrasing shows your lack of care around bigotry towards people who use neopronouns. Its misgendering plain and simple, no different than if you misgendered a transwoman or transman. It should carry that same weight. And if it doesn’t then you are not a trans ally because you are not supporting trans rights, just the ones that fit within your view of normalcy. Purposely misgendering anyone for any reason is insulting, disrespectful, and harmful.
It’s in the name, they’ll make 196 communities in total.
This is the way
Not to be confused with !1960s@lemmy.world
A sinful place
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?
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”.
Before you leave what? For the day?
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
So we could have used 197 instead?
It’s a prophecy. When they reach 196 196-themed communities, 196 years of rule will begin.
19684 is a 196 comm where sex doesn’t exist.
Literulely 19(6)84
I’ve blocked every single one 🤷 It’s just not my cup of tea and it’s more noise in my feed.
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.
I don’t know what to do with this information
Call them a slur
That does not seem appropriate.
Call them a type of fish perhaps?
Masturbate
Keep on truckin’ friendo
Weep.
I’m tempted to make a 196 piefed feed of just Lemmy communities so you can all be Spartacus.
Definitely a too many cooks in the kitchen situation 🤣
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
