Much like Bill the Cat himself, intended to be comically unmarketable despite in-BloomCounty-universe being famous and widely marketed.

So does the weird abduction of 196 mean there are two competing communities?

[–] nimble@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 16 hours ago

There already was 196 on .world. they removed the old mod and then added the blahaj mods as part of this "move"

So there's always has been two communities, but now some people thinking they are leaders have taken a walk.
