Honestly I feel if the problem was unfairly banned people, they could have just opened the 196 comm on lw and run it in parallel and let people post on both whichever they prefer. It's not like people will crossposts their memes (probably)
-
That's bc you are kind to think about other people, and anarchist enough to realize that even if you do not, others will still think of themselves in the end.
These mods seem incapable of thinking about the situation from the perspective of what would best serve their users. I don't know if it's ego or what, but something is standing in the way of that.

They just unlocked !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone
-
Well this just got more confusing.
-
The old mods seem absolutely determined to sink this ship as best as they possibly can.:-) Now, rather than even so much as "allow" people to post to the newly formed community, they are trying to reassert their dominance over their old stomping grounds that they said they were done with, except now that others have expressed interest in it too, don't seem to be done at all.
By which I mean this post.

Halfway, and yet somehow this meme still seems to remain true regardless:-).
Perhaps instead of relying on the (old, now LW) mods to step aside, Ada will appoint the mods of the new letter community to be the head of the old numeric one instead, on lemmy.blahaj.zone.

There sooo much happening right now!
-
It's a bit crazy ha ha
-
-
So wait, are we still posting to bunch-of-letters or to numbers?
-
Yes
-
I suggested on !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone that the mods resign. Let's see if they do

People seriously need to relax. Both the mods and the users. Just forget about it and continue shitposting in whatever community, it's not even worth being upset about. Shit happens, nobody is perfect, and it's fucking c/196, everyone should just calm the FUCK down!
Obligatory
I'm perfectly calm, dude.
-
People will. In the meantime it's fun to think about (perhaps especially distracting from certain political events happening today), and anyway why choose to be upset that people are excited about it? :-P
This is Lemmy: here we LIVE for the DRAMA! (/s)

Meh, it may be fun for you, but I can guarantee it's not fun for those moderators. It's pretty discouraging when you put so much of your time into moderating a community and then it turns on you like that. They made a mistake, sure, but their intentions were for the good of the community at the end of the day. No need for people to be dicks about it.

Why not 197?

Or even oneninesix? :-)

I've just realised Americans don't say the "and" in numbers.
So instead of "a hundred and ninety six", they remove the "and", and they've just been walking around saying things like "a hundred ninety six" for years.
-
I mean, it's pretty commonly said, especially in a colloquial setting. More people than not probably use it.
But there is a convention that the "and" should be adhered to when a decimal is present; that said, – like many grammar rules – this isn't far from universally followed.
-
It's worse than that - I'd actually say "one ninety six".
But in my head I always read the comm name as "one nine six".
-
To be fair, I probably say things like "one ninety six" or "one nine six" when referring to measurements.
i.e. how far is it between those two? "2... fifty four... point... 3". I guess there's a sort of silent "metres" "centimetres" etc in there.

"Right, it should be a hundred ninety and six"
*my dumb brain after reading your first sentence quick translating from Spanish.

Same, seems to just be random nonsense.
Sigh... 196 was the reason I figured out how to block communities.
What's the new ones so I can block them as well?
Also 196 - not joking. Just browse by All and you will definitely see it.:-P
I fail to see the rule issue?
I find the latter part absolutely hilarious 😂 😆 - so much so that I'm even helping, and hoping that I'm not crossing a line into spam:-)
