It was just a difference of opinion in the way they wanted to moderate the community and how the admin wanted to moderate her server. And of course, the admin has the last word.
But this stuff happens all the time on Lemmy, the only unusual thing is they decided to take the nuclear option and lock the community. Then they realized their mistake and unlocked it. It is what it is. I just get annoyed at all the people who flock to this drama like flies to shit so they can pile on the mods. It’s super lame.
I am not going to take a community off of people who haven’t broken any instance rules. Mods need to have confidence that the communities they run aren’t going to be arbitrarily taken away from them because of an issue with an instance admin.
That’s an interesting difference to note with the usual admin/mod hierarchy
so they can pile on the mods. It’s super lame.
Mods shouldn’t make such decisions without asking the community first. That was supposedly the idea of Lemmy, having power tripping mods being kept in check by meta communities like !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com and the ability to move to another community on a whim. Still impressive to see how !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone got active in only a few hours, that’s definitely something that’s interesting.
