Honestly, we should just start advertising Lemmy on the different alternatives and drive the community here, making it the new home, while still keeping the subreddit restricted with a link to lemmy instead of the god awful and confusing discord server (that isn't even a 196 discord, why the hell did they pick it instead of making a new one?) while also informing about the tumblr tags for a more personalized experience. 2 alts feel better than a 5. We should also explain how the situation with the tankies looks like and why that's not a problem on the 196 instance.
Honestly, I thought that goblinhog was chill before the protest. Now after seeing the type of tomfoolery he's been up to, I just kind of lost respect for him.
Yeah, which just sucks. It used to be an amazing place, yet due to people leaving after the API changes and a horrible way of handling the situation by the mods, the community just seems to be scattered so much that it no longer feels like one. It felt like a safe place but now, after all of the debacle, it's just impossible to wrap your head around.
I feel like there should just be a new seperate discord for r/196. As it stands, the current options either are too unofficial or are like 196cord, where it's a mish mash of two completely different communities with oposing personalities. While 196 seems pretty calm, friendly and is in general pretty down to earth, the other one has a lot of LARPers and pretty hostile to people and even besides that, the mods either don't care or are clearly not in the right mental headspace to moderate.
As a guy that doesn't use Linux I must say, all the memes about it are making my brain hurt. Y'all are so much more knowledgeable on tech that I feel left out lol.
