    its a success story, and an artifact of a terrible mod decision. mods in the other one unilaterally decided to move 196 to lemmy.world, but the community decided the mods can go fuck themselves… so when the original 196 was locked, this new one with new mods was created.

    at some point the og mods realized they fucked up and unlocked it. i say, the 196 is dead. long live the onehundredninetysix

      Have to be real here, while casually browsing from my instance, I usually don’t know if a post I am seeing is from the original or the improvement 🤔

      I am an equal opportunity upvoter in that regard.

        I follow both. I honestly hadn’t noticed it’s the same mods on the original 196 though, so if I post henceforth I will post here or on !19684@lemmy.blahaj.zone

        I never wanted to raise the point to avoid stirring up drama, but based on some exchanges I had in the past with the original 196 mods, I wasn’t terribly surprised they ended up being … the way they are

        That’s in part because (at least for a while; I haven’t checked if it’s still true) the new community had changed its display name to be the same as the old community.
