Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".
Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.
Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.
Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.
Avoid AI generated content.

I'm so glad this all worked out so smoothly. Whatever happens next, it makes me so happy to see that this community handled a difficult situation so well in so little time. That's definitely a good sign :3
It's quite reassuring about Lemmy and federation in general. Power tripping mods? Just move elsewhere in a few hours!
That's true, but what really impresses me is that the "new" 196 gained so much traction so quickly. Creating a new community is one thing, but so many people were immediately on board because they didn't like what the mods did to the "old" 196. Nobody was willing to take the mods' shit and that's very cool.
We've migrated so many times now .. what's one more
Haven't been on Lemmy in like a week, what happened?
The mods of !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone wanted to move the community over to lemmy.world without asking the users. They literally locked down the community and made a post saying "We moved." That didn't land well, !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone was created and quickly grew to a respectable size because lots of people wanted to stay on blahaj. The mods of the original 196 backed down and reopened the old community, but I don't know what's gonna happen next. Trust in the mods has been broken by that, though.
