To be fair onehundrednintysix exists because the 196 mods are a bunch of shitlibs, also 19864 exists because tbh I thought it was funny and I still do (also its more left wing)
So if I'm right about this....
!moretankie196@lemmygrad.ml - the only one I’d ever even consider posting to
Also 19864 was originally a subreddit that I used to be very active in and I just wanted it here (the rest is accurate)
how does 19864 differ from 196? how did the subreddit differ from /r/196?
No hornyposting, also sex isnt real, basically 196 but Ace :3 (and even more leftist)
Considering none of them post the same memes this is fine
You might even say... "Let one hundred and ninety-six flowers bloom!"
I'm literally a trans socialist, and 100% of the other mods are either gay or trans. We're as left as left gets.
I'll say it as many times as I have to: The move had nothing to do with politics. There's a lot of value in Ada's style of moderation, because cishet people have damn near the whole internet to serve as their "safe space" for the lack of a better term, so the value of having a dedicated queer instance is enormous. Her work means that communities like !queer_defense_front@lemmy.blahaj.zone already have the vast majority of the work done for them.
By and large, we are in agreement with Ada and her mod actions. (We don't tolerate transphobes, racists, etc., and that didn't change after the move). Where we disagree is things like Kolanaki getting banned for saying he wants to learn to be an ally but can't ask about trans topics without getting negative replies. In a community like QDF it would make sense to remove the comment because it's not the time or place for his input, but on 196 we feel like it'd be a lot more productive to teach him what he can do better to engage with us more effectively, rather than assume he's incapable of doing so. He's never said anything transphobic in either of the 196s I mod for, and I see no reason he shouldn't be welcomed in the community.
And it's worth noting that !196@lemmy.world is still free of transphobes/racists/tankies/etc., despite the panic.
Moving to a shitlib instance is a sign of a mod team that does not care about its community, in addition yall talk about "tankies" yet you think you own your community (you do not, no mods do)
Point to one instance of me saying this. You're making shit up.
I wasnt specifically referring to you I said yall (the mod team), you made it about yourself to derail my argument
Nah you ain't left as left gets. You post on a community that uses "tankie" in the same way conservatives use "woke." If that ain't the most liberal shit ever, then I am Hillary Clinton.
Ctrl+F "tankie" and replace it with "authoritarianism apologist", then. 🤷♀️ I can't say your opinion means much to me if it boils down to a semantic argument.
Authoritarianism is antithetical to everything the left stands for, at least in America (especially under Trump's reign). Being a communist isn't enough for you to claim to be on my side.
