Crazy how a mod tried this on lemmy and everyone just went to a new instance.
when?
c/196 had a mod who did something like defederate from an instance without asking the users (I’ll see if I can find it) and everyone said adios

Basically users disagreed with the mods about moving the comm to lemmy.world and made a new community even on the same instance, c/onehundredninetysix
There was also the fallout from startrek.website
Oh Right i remember.
A good summary here, with background: https://lemmy.ca/post/37558800

Ok. I’ve tone it down a little.
lol no no, I was making fun of reddit, not calling you out. 😆
“Yea” works better after all. You’re right about it being more of the usual.
Why big mod walkouts? That makes no sense. They are literally the ones who can unban him.
We’re walking out to protest our own actions. It’s the same as when politicians join protests for change. Bro, you’re literally in the position to actually change this
You are thinking about this from the perspective of a normal person, not someone who is sad and pathetic enough to do something like this. These people are most likely deeply disempowered IRL and being a mod of a large subreddit is probably all they have going for them so they are way too invested in it.
A lot resigned because people were mad over the ban. The analogy would be more like a politician resigns after everyone complains about their policy.
I heard it was just one mod who kicked all the other mods and then went on to post that it was a mutual decision. The other mods had no idea at all.
The article is really confusing, it says they posted you win we resign but also that the head mod kicked everyone. Maybe the first part was the mods bring facetious?
