All I've seen is "differences in opinion" but no one actually saying what they disagree over? Seems like a lot of drama over nothing from my perspective?

The mods latest statement helps explain somewhat: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/20976989

This is heresay from another thread on the topic, but I’ll repeat it here:

The 196 mods were from the lemmy.world instance despite 196 being hosted on blahaj.zone, resulting in delays of moderation actions. Blahaj.zone admins stepped in to pick up the slack, but the mods didn’t figured a better solution would be to just move it to lemmy.world, but apparently some instances are federated with blahaj but not world, or had other reasons to not want it to move, causing drama…

Sometimes, users make comments and posts that are tricky to moderate. In those situations, it appears the 196 mods wanted to be a bit more lenient, while the admin wanted to be a bit more strict in terms of removing that content. It's not one specific thing, it seems like more of an accumulation of small decisions that built up and caused the mod team to make a rash decision.

Locking the existing version of a community and forcing people to move to another instance without any prior consultation is indeed quite rash
