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.

Can you explain how world is notbgreat for LGBT people?

Or is this just about the whole neopronoun thing?

[–] Comrade_Spood@slrpnk.net 16 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

[–] gmtom@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Do I?

[–] Comrade_Spood@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 week 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.

[–] gmtom@lemmy.world -2 points 1 week 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".

[–] Comrade_Spood@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 week ago

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

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

[–] Comrade_Spood@slrpnk.net 8 points 1 week 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.

[–] pixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 week ago

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

[–] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 week ago

God i love lemmy

[–] ekZepp@lemmy.world 34 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] DerArzt@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

This is the way

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 1 week ago

Literulely 19(6)84

[–] virku@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week 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?

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 41 points 1 week 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”.

[–] Dagnet@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

So we could have used 197 instead?

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

that would have been so much better than onehundredandninetysix

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

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

[–] PeaceNBullets@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Before you leave what? For the day?

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week 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

[–] drolex@sopuli.xyz 20 points 1 week ago

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

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Not to be confused with !1960s@lemmy.world

[–] MintyAnt@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

A sinful place

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 13 points 1 week 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@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 week ago (4 children)

I don't know what to do with this information

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 9 points 1 week ago

Masturbate

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 8 points 1 week ago

Keep on truckin' friendo

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

Weep.

[–] MintyAnt@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Call them a slur

[–] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That does not seem appropriate.

[–] MintyAnt@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Call them a type of fish perhaps?

[–] Zero22xx@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 week 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.

[–] mesamunefire@piefed.social 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] freamon@preferred.social 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] mesamunefire@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago

Nice

[–] Laurentide@pawb.social 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

We have a 196 now?

[–] MintyAnt@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

We have a 196 now.

[–] threeduck@aussie.zone 6 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Definitely a too many cooks in the kitchen situation 🤣

[–] Zizzy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 week 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!
