Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.

Just wondering what does 196 means anyway? Clueless lemmy user here.
Ps I'm ally of LGBTQ2S+.
Back on Reddit some dude and his roomates made a subreddit called 195 (their dorm number). It only had one rule, when you visit, you have to post a meme. Eventually the public found the subreddit and started posting their own memes. It got huge and out of hand and some awful stuff started getting posted so they finally deleted the subreddit. That disappointed a bunch of people so a sequel was made, 196. This community is a recreation of that second subreddit.
This should be in the sidebar so the lore isn’t lost.
196 was a shitposting subreddit back on, uh, Reddit, which had one rule - you had to post before you left.
It became known as a very trans-friendly shitposting subreddit and honestly probably one of the better shitposting subreddits in general.
Now it's migrated at least partially to the Fediverse.
All I know is that 196 communities have The Rule which is that you must post something before you leave.

Sorry if I'm being dense but how does that relate to transphobia? Do the messages they post tend to be transphobic or something?
