Well first of all there should probably be a pinned poll about whether 196s subscribers and users actually want to move. After that if people actually think its necessary to move, you can make a pinned poll about suggestions for a new instance.

By "asap" I didn't mean any minute now. :p Rest assured we wouldn't make such a big change without at least telling you guys outside of a comment on a random post. And I agree a poll would be a good idea.

And apparently I was mistaken about some things, so I've deleted my comment. Until further notice, just disregard what I said. Any major changes to 196 will be announced by the other mods, probably through a sticky post.

Edit: Since I deleted the last post I'll clarify here, too, that we weren't making any major changes due to the neopronouns thing. It was just something I saw being discussed a good while ago and assumed it was still underweigh.
