Ada is the admin of blahaj, not a part of the mod team for 196. She has final say on anything that is on the instance but isn't directly involved in 196.
The reason for the move hasn't really been clear. The mods were vague when they announced the move, effective immediately, and the most common theory I saw was about a certain person who uses neopronouns and an event where Ada stepped in to use her power as admin to overrule the mods of 196. The mods of 196 have since clarified with a vague statement about how they don't like how Ada handles moderation across the instance (banning trolls more on a "vibe check" than hard rules or something? I don't really know) and praise for .world's instance level rules regarding things like trolls and harassment.
The community was blindsided by this, as 196 was locked and moved within hours of the announcement; and they largely voiced disagreement with the decision it seems. In response, I believe some member of the community created onehundredninetysix to keep the community on blahaj, and Ada herself is currently the only mod of the community, though she's looking for people to take it over.
