I browse all feeds and enjoyed the random 196 stuff that popped up.
Since the drama there does seem to be a lot more posts. Is it renewed interest or were there more restrictions previously?
I'm just happy to see posts tbh.
Since it's a new community, there's an increased effort of people ~~spamming~~ sending posts more than usual to try to have it gain more traction, I do expect that eventually it will calm down again once all this drama blows over.
I also think that now there's essentially going to be two different 196s, or maybe three that are actively used because there's going to be the people who didn't bother leaving, the people who left, and now of course they've opened up another "official" channel on LW which is seeing activity.
I wouldn’t doubt that some on the new community are posting “extra hard” for the time being just so the brand new community has some content to engage with. It’s literally shiny brand new and so an empty community with nothing to look at wasn’t much fun XD
