Bruh, they have like 196 on 3 instances
My entire front page is was filled with 196
- Sigh... 196 was the reason I figured out how to block communities.
  What's the new ones so I can block them as well?
- i blocked it after the 3rd low quality post. the other one too.
  
  Same, seems to just be random nonsense.
- My entire front page is was filled with 196
  I fail to see the rule issue?
- I find the latter part absolutely hilarious 😂 😆 - so much so that I'm even helping, and hoping that I'm not crossing a line into spam:-)

They just unlocked !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone
- Well this just got more confusing.
  
  The old mods seem absolutely determined to sink this ship as best as they possibly can.:-) Now, rather than even so much as "allow" people to post to the newly formed community, they are trying to reassert their dominance over their old stomping grounds that they said they were done with, except now that others have expressed interest in it too, don't seem to be done at all.
  By which I mean this post.
- Halfway, and yet somehow this meme still seems to remain true regardless:-).
  Perhaps instead of relying on the (old, now LW) mods to step aside, Ada will appoint the mods of the new letter community to be the head of the old numeric one instead, on lemmy.blahaj.zone.
  
  I think what I'm going to do is ignore it and it should have all sorted itself out in a few days.
- So wait, are we still posting to bunch-of-letters or to numbers?
  
  Yes
- There sooo much happening right now!
  
  It's a bit crazy ha ha

Honestly I feel if the problem was unfairly banned people, they could have just opened the 196 comm on lw and run it in parallel and let people post on both whichever they prefer. It's not like people will crossposts their memes (probably)
- That's bc you are kind to think about other people, and anarchist enough to realize that even if you do not, others will still think of themselves in the end.
  These mods seem incapable of thinking about the situation from the perspective of what would best serve their users. I don't know if it's ego or what, but something is standing in the way of that.

Why not 197?
- Or even oneninesix? :-)

People seriously need to relax. Both the mods and the users. Just forget about it and continue shitposting in whatever community, it's not even worth being upset about. Shit happens, nobody is perfect, and it's fucking c/196, everyone should just calm the FUCK down!
Obligatory
I'm perfectly calm, dude.

I've just realised Americans don't say the "and" in numbers.
So instead of "a hundred and ninety six", they remove the "and", and they've just been walking around saying things like "a hundred ninety six" for years.
- I mean, it's pretty commonly said, especially in a colloquial setting. More people than not probably use it.
  But there is a convention that the "and" should be adhered to when a decimal is present; that said, – like many grammar rules – this isn't far from universally followed.
- "Right, it should be a hundred ninety and six"
  *my dumb brain after reading your first sentence quick translating from Spanish.
- Chinese say 1 hundred 9 ten 6 as an added data point
  
  That pretty much makes sense - and the American manner makes sense, it's just so similar to what I'm familiar with, but slightly different, so looks really wrong to my brain.
- It's worse than that - I'd actually say "one ninety six".
  But in my head I always read the comm name as "one nine six".
