PSA for outsiders rule (we come in peace)
out of the loop on the drama? here’s a breakdown: https://lemmy.cafe/comment/9410682
The number of people who think it’s faster or easier to post an angry comment than block a community is far too high.
Your comment showed up in my feed today how dare you even consider posting an opinion that's different than mine AND clutter my feed! /hardJ
IMO it has to do with people needing validation online. The more people that agree with them, the more they think that their way of thinking is right and just. They then shift to communities and people that don't point out the fallacies in their views which is colloquially called an "echochamber". Then it just snowballs into this sort of subculture or tribe that foams at the mouth any time someone comes along with a different opinion which creates overly dramatic situations like this that would never occur in the real world, but people like to put their internet armor on and draw their ego swords thinking their entire way of life is being threatened because someone says something like "Why are you so agressive to these other people?"
This drama has spread through at least 5 communities that I'm aware of so far. It's not just one.
Should be
- !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone , the new community
- !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com , as it's about power tripping
- !fedimemes@feddit.uk , as there are memes being made about it
I don't think expressing frustration was about efficiency
I enjoy the posts! Never actually been in a 196 community, here or on Reddit, but I'm all for it
hell yea :3
Me, a completely cis guy who just likes the memes and supporting trans people:
Same, in queer communities I consider it my job to bring "supportive dad" energy
Far too many of these kids don't get as much of it as they deserve
fucking based
The memes here are the choicest it’s true
might also be coming across this post in one of the various communities because this community's link is being spammed through the roof right now. If you're annoyed by it just add the link to your apps comment filter.
Also yes the name is too long, I've gotten accustomed to the fact I'm never linking it via mobile 😅
it has a certain charm to it 😅
I browse all feeds and enjoyed the random 196 stuff that popped up.
Since the drama there does seem to be a lot more posts. Is it renewed interest or were there more restrictions previously?
I'm just happy to see posts tbh.
Since it's a new community, there's an increased effort of people
spammingsending posts more than usual to try to have it gain more traction, I do expect that eventually it will calm down again once all this drama blows over.I also think that now there's essentially going to be two different 196s, or maybe three that are actively used because there's going to be the people who didn't bother leaving, the people who left, and now of course they've opened up another "official" channel on LW which is seeing activity.
I wouldn’t doubt that some on the new community are posting “extra hard” for the time being just so the brand new community has some content to engage with. It’s literally shiny brand new and so an empty community with nothing to look at wasn’t much fun XD
Or just sub to all three of them, if they ever unblock the original. Tbh I'm so glad that people took up the mantle from the old mod team and kept the community alive here.
It has jack shit to do with the topic, but your "we come in peace" reminded me this strip:
