The mods at [email protected] 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 [email protected], and tried to force everyone to .world. Thus was met with... Disagreement.

They reopened [email protected], but the damage was done, and trust was lost. [email protected] was created as the safe alternative from the mods who wanted the ability to allow problematic commenters.

So thats about the story there.

Can you explain how world is notbgreat for LGBT people?

Or is this just about the whole neopronoun thing?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 days ago (2 children)

You prove the point by saying "just the neopronoun thing"

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

Yep yep yep. I don't like em either but that doesn't matter

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Do I?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Please take a reality check.

I litterally just said the words "the whole neopronoun thing" to refer to the past drama about neopronouns. Now you are accusing me of being a bigot because saying those words shows "lack of care".

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

That drama happened in part BECAUSE .world has a problem not moderating enough against transphobia.

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.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It's in the name, they'll make 196 communities in total.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

This is the way

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

We have a 196 now?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

We have a 196 now.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 4 days ago (1 children)

19684 is a 196 comm where sex doesn't exist.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 4 days ago

Literulely 19(6)84

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Not to be confused with [email protected]

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

A sinful place

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 days ago (2 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 41 points 4 days ago (2 children)

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”.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 days ago (2 children)

So we could have used 197 instead?

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

There was beef witht he 197 comm on reddit, it was just used as 196 but with laxer bigotry rules.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

that would have been so much better than onehundredandninetysix

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Before you leave what? For the day?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

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

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 days ago

It's a prophecy. When they reach 196 196-themed communities, 196 years of rule will begin.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I've blocked every single one 🤷 It's just not my cup of tea and it's more noise in my feed.

[–] caseyweederman 19 points 4 days ago (4 children)

I don't know what to do with this information

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

Masturbate

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago

Keep on truckin' friendo

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

Call them a slur

[–] caseyweederman 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That does not seem appropriate.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Call them a type of fish perhaps?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

Weep.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I'm tempted to make a 196 piefed feed of just Lemmy communities so you can all be Spartacus.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Here's one to copy if you like: https://preferred.social/f/196

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

Nice

[–] Sunshine 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Definitely a too many cooks in the kitchen situation 🤣

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

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

Hey, that's Squidward Gary!
