        It’s just fedidrama. The original mods didn’t like being told to moderate and how the admin sometimes stepped in and didn’t always tell them. Though arguably mod log would show it.

        Anyway they made a mod decision that they’d move to your lemmy world instance. At the admin level LW has questionable at best policies surrounding Trans rights and a more lenient admin moderation (allow more trolls and transphobe comments to stand). They also didn’t ask the community nor give a chance for community input about said move, just kinda announced it and went for it. Communities don’t like that sort of authoritative thing- what’s a community where the leaders don’t see members as equals in running the community- and there was/is ongoing backlash with some nice mudslinging between mods the community and the blahaj admin. I think there are now new mods running this community.
