Not really. There is just one community where all the dedicated users are and its this one.

Also this is the playlist trying to roughly cover the whole story line with vids from lots of independent channels.

We do and we are glad you are here <3

I mean a janitor has a lot more work to do than a 196 mod.

Weeeeee are indeed happy about getting dragged along :3

This was the .world one 5h ago, it went from 4470 to 4490 since then. They already had a lot of subs because that community was already made during the initial move from reddit but they had almost zero activity since then.

But yeah the .world community gained <100 subs from this move, and all those subs they had from before are probably inactive accounts.

Is the right shirt about the the Industry Baby music video? I guess not because not 18 and not cowboys. Still reminded me of that tho.

Look at my shitty little edit

Thats what kicked it off yes. See this post https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/27502118

I knew Blahaj was never ‘for’ me, but I always felt comfortable here. Guess that’s over. Ada and the admins have the right to cultivate the community they want to see on Blahaj, and I wish them the best of luck going forward.

I’m going to miss 196 and Femcelmemes, but… well, Blahaj isn’t for me, since I don’t acknowledge ‘dragonfucker’ as a gender.

Mod of 196 responds:

deleted by creator (It said something about planning to move to .world because blahaj bad)

This is then followed by an overwhelming opposition to the idea of moving to .world. Saying that this is not an option and if at all needs to involve a poll of the community of sorts.

The mod (A_Very_Big_Fan@lemmy.world) then deletes all his comments about moving to .world.

Fast forward to now, where they quickly lock the whole community and attempt a coup.

Also this wonderful quote from that same mod in this thread:

By “asap” I didn’t mean any minute now. :p Rest assured we wouldn’t make such a big change without at least telling you guys outside of a comment on a random post. And I agree a poll would be a good idea.

Smug bastards

Very annoying commentary to something that could have been interesting.

To the subject matter tho, the fact that the White House exists, is a testament to everything that is wrong with the US. A clear sign to signal that “The president is above the people”.

Yeah im sure 4.47k people subbed to the new community in a matter of 6 hours and its not just a bunch of bots used to validate this decision in the eyes of uninitiated bystanders. I mean the .world community is older than 6 hours, but it was completely dead for the last 3 months until yesterday.

We are on good terms with Ada and her team, and have gotten her consent to do this.

Ada being a blahaj admin. If that is true then i wouldnt be too optimistic.

Imagine believing that you “build and facilitate” a community by being a mod. What an asshole.

Yeah and it looks like the admins of blahaj are with the mod team on this, so i assume there wont be any reopening of 196 here. That means either 197 on blahaj or move to a different instance. I feel like the former would just lead to a repeat of the same story tho, if the instance admins here are ok with this kind of behaviour.

It would be a power move if they just purged all the .world people from this community with this move and then reopened the community without the old mods.

A single drawn out argument over a not even that controversial mod decision. Very sad that the blahaj admins allowed this mod to fuck over this whole community for no good reason and against the will of basically the entirety of this community.

Every single post on the “new” community is from a .world user. Maybe its time for me to block all of .world, it was pretty clear from the start that .world is predatory but this just makes me even more sure. They can have fun over there with their meta/threads federation lol

Absolutely foul decision. From the recent discussions i think it was very clear that the actual regular users and posters of 196 were opposed to moving to .world. What a clown show of a mod team.

I fucking called it. Family reunion time.

Emergency protein snack for when times get tough.
