I know there was some schism and moving of instances, but beyond that I can’t deduce what happened/is happening.

Great write-up, thanks. I love a good shit-show. 🍿

Sounds to me like the OG mods could have said “we don’t like how the admin runs things here, we are leaving as mods and starting a new 196 on .world with hookers and blackjack, you guys do what you want here.”

Which everyone would think is fine, but that would mean they'd be mods of an empty community, and thus have no power, and that of course made them upset.

I genuinely would have had no problem with that, and I think most others would agree with me.

I guess they decided to forget the hookers ...... and the blackjack.
