Yeah it’s frustrating to see. I had to block one user who kept posting selfies asking if they passed or just saying “I don’t feel like I pass” because it felt like they were just looking for attention.
Yesterday, you probably saw this informal post by one of our head admins (Chris Remington). This post lamented some of the difficulties we’re running into with the site at this point, and what the future might hold for us. This is a more formal post about those difficulties and the way we currently see things....
every time I post either a comment or a post on r/196, it gets removed. I tried to do so on 19684 and while the comments show up, my posts aren’t showing up when sorting by new.
I think in the hypothetical scenario of a magically self sustaining portal that seemingly generates its own energy to keep active, energy would be applied to the people via the portal
My last post was a post equating NATO with gay rights with the caption “fuck tankies”. That is not the case. I simply found a screenshot on discord and posted it because I was unreasonably angry at hexbear due to the brigading of the discussion thread. Hexbear does have some nice people among their very politically charged...
The Blahaj admins have said they’re fine with us staying here, so I don’t see much point in moving. Also do you really want to have to start doing fundraising for 196?
Feels like you keep looking to move without actually talking to the admins (who commented repeatedly on your last post). If you want to move, do it. But I won’t be contributing financially if you decide to move to your own instance, there’s a place for us here and it works fine.
They’re slow rn because they’re being worked on. The admins have been very open about this in their recent post. They’re changing how the instance is hosted so it doesn’t cost them the $3000 per month it costs ATM. Once the maintenance is done, things will be back to normal
The only issue is that 196 makes up a huge chunk of blahaj.zone’s operating costs, which is currently $3000 a month. But the admins are taking care of it and are currently working on changing how the instance is hosted to be more cost efficient. They’ve also said they don’t blame 196 for the costs and are fine with 196 remaining here.
So there really isn’t much reason to move elsewhere.
Yeah it seems like Moss may be severely underestimating the work that goes into running an instance. You and Ada do a great job of running blahaj zone, and it seems pointless to move elsewhere and create more work for the people behind 196
The servers are having issues BECAUSE THEYRE WORKING ON THEM lol
Once the maintenance is done they’ll be back to normal. ATM it’s costing the admins $3000 a month to run the instance, so they’re changing some stuff to be more cost efficient

Why is it so common for people here to not have a profile pic?
I mean, it seems pretty easy to do. That way we could diffrenciate between users much easier and help it feel more like a community.
