I know there was some schism and moving of instances, but beyond that I can’t deduce what happened/is happening.

    Semi-related question: What the fuck is 196? I’ve never understood what it was, just that it was a carry-over from Reddit. Me browsing it is like Homer Simpson reading a Far Side calendar: “I don’t get it. I don’t get it. I don’t get it. LOL…I don’t get it.”

      Some guy made a subreddit called 195 (named after their dorm room number IIRC) where the only rule was that you had to post something before leaving. They later closed the subreddit because it had gotten too large to operate by one person. 196 was created by the community as a successor with the same one rule. Just post. Simple as.
