    back on the Old Site there was r/195 which was somebody’s apartment number and started out with just their friends. then it got popular, was flooded and became hard to moderate; the mods shut it down in what was known as The Experiment. This was the birth of r/196, which thrived before shutting down the second Reddit API shit hit the fan. And so here we are, on Fedi.

    Thank you for asking. I too, had no idea and was too afraid to ask.

    I feel like Reddit really suppressed my curiosity to post questions like this because they’d either get downvoted to hell, get shite responses, or just taken down.
