hey everyone,
if you’ve been keeping tabs on the internet drama you probably know about all of reddit shenanigans. when I first heard about the blackout I was really worried about loosing the 196 community and things like whenthe, r/traaa, and gay sounds shitposts so I decided to try and make an instance that could act as a central hub of sorts and try and keep these communities connected. it’s really important that we bring these communities over to the fediverse if we want them to be resilient and I think this is the right step forward. I know things are still rough around the edges and there will be growing pains, but as the lorax said, “a tree falls the way it leans”
reddit and corporations will always lean to enshitification but for once we have something that leans the right way
if this is going to work, we need as many people as possible to start switching over and we are going to need your memes. lots and lots of memes. if we all get on board we can make this work
with this post I would like to officially announce fedi196.gay is up and ready for open registration

I love you all and I look forward to seeing you, wherever you wind up on the fediverse ❤️
