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

The mod team tried to move everything to .world. No one liked that and now there's !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone !196@lemmy.world and !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone the top two are run by the old mod team, the last one is ran by a new mod team. Blahaj zone and onehundresninetysix are active. (Rip 196.world, gone and certainly forgotten.) The mod team and admin had a drama over heavy handed admin over reach on bans in 196blahaj.

The mod team and admin had a drama over heavy handed admin over reach on bans in 196blahaj.

That's one way to say it. Another way to say the same thing is disagreement about ban decisions and length of ban duration.

This post isn't really broad enough for the intent of the creator(s) of this community (not me) but I'm not one to remove a post that already has active discussion.

That said:

I'll look through but I'm generally here as more an extra set of eyes for the most egregious content, rather than to be deciphering through individual threads. Locking is an option I may have to use and tbh someone else here may still lock or remove it.

I get this is a contentious topic. I don't want to stifle discussion. I prefer to mod passively. I volunteered here because no one else was and I'm already clearly active enough.

I didn’t mean to stir up shit, I was genuinely curious and wanted to… Ask Lemmy.

[–] Asudox@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

No problem. Though I'll be locking this post. It really generated lots of reports and drama in the comments section.

Onehundrednightysix is stupid. You should have just named it oneninesix

[–] sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 6 days ago

Hehe that was one of the first posts -- the creator regretting the name. But the community rolled with it. Somehow that fits.

[–] FrostyCaveman@lemm.ee 3 points 6 days ago

They should’ve called it 197
