From what I’ve heard, various mods were literally forcibly removed from their position and the mod having a temper tantrum basically ended up trying to loop them into his delusions. Assuming it’s true, sounds like this person wanted to take down as many people as they could with them in some petty game.

So does anyone know what the actual phrase was that “mentioned” the prints?

making mods anonymous was such a mistake
mods like this should be able to be harassed endlessly
I say this having been a mod of several subs

Why big mod walkouts? That makes no sense. They are literally the ones who can unban him

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.

It was the work one exactly one person. They locked the sub, and the moment someone else unlocked it they kicked all other mods and themself and made it seem like everyone was following him when it was not.

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.

Crazy how a mod tried this on lemmy and everyone just went to a new instance.
ekZepp@lemmy.world 21 hours ago
when?
starelfsc2@sh.itjust.works 21 hours ago
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
