Sooo, what is 196? I don't get it.
It's just a shitposting community where the rule is that you have to post something if you visit the community. Notably, the 196 community is disproportionately queer and/or trans, for some reason.
Disproportionately anti communism/fascism too.
Just an observation
Very anti fascist. Tends to be Anti capitalist and pro socialism/communism. Just really hates imperialism and totalitarian countries/regimes which puts the community at odds with any community groups that are particularly pro Russia/China
Really? I always assumed there were a lot of anti-authoritarian communists.
some people think that being anti-authoritarian implies being anti-communist
and by some people I mean liberals and tankies
it is (was?) a post anything subreddit with a lot of queer people
196 is the apartment of awesome
Share a meme when you're here, it's the rule
Welcome to the party, we've got blajah, memes, LGBTQ+, and no tankies
Sounds fun!
The less you try to understand it, the better it is.
No offense, but that sounds like some cult stuff.
It's not a cult. Who told you it was a cult? Whoever told you that is clearly problematic and you should cut them out of your life.
Wow, that doesn’t sound like a cult at all! Sign me up!
All you have to do is give me $1000 (it's not a pyramid scheme either)
Definitely, just need to email this Nigerian prince back real quick
Technically, we're not organised enough to be one.
Guys apartment number who made sub reddit
Wasn't it his neighbor because r/195 was the original but fell off?
I'm not sure? There's a 195 on here as well so I'm confused.
Yeah I have no idea why someone made a c/195 but it's not really relevant to the topic of where c/196 came from.
They were originally c/196 and renamed after this 196 became wildly more popular to avoid confusion.
