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.

196 is the best thing that happened to this site

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago (6 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 32 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] 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Disproportionately anti communism/fascism too.

Just an observation

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 year 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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

and by some people I mean liberals and tankies

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year 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

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

Sounds fun!

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (3 children)

No offense, but that sounds like some cult stuff.

[–] [email protected] 24 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] 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

or my brain

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Guys apartment number who made sub reddit

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

We knew the rule.

We brought the rule.

We came to rule.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 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.

dense dog advisory

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

It is true, and it is good.

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] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

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

Still better than Reddit

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year 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

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year 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 🙏

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

We smash the numbers and make rhem big

[–] [email protected] 8 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

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

How do i block this subreddit

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

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

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

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