You're overlooking that the users don't want to move. The mods seem to think that they're the reason we use 196 and that they can just pack us into a suitcase and take us wherever they like, when the fact is we use blahaj zone for a reason and they can't take us anywhere. They're perfectly free to close the sub and make a new one elsewhere, but no one's going to follow them.
It's like, imagine you're renting a house with a few people and one of the people none of the housemates really like (they don't follow the house rules everyone has agreed on) marches in and announces "We all, as a group, are moving to Florida!" And then moves out and takes the refrigerator and expects you to follow. No thanks, good riddance, we're getting a new fridge and a better housemate.
I understand I'm being a pedant but it sounds more similar to a landlord telling their tenants that the house being rented is legally being moved across state borders. The landlord had house rules under the umbrella of state law and wanted a new umbrella. Tenants are saying "this state is fine and, fuck off, we brought all the furniture in this house."
The actual tenant here would be the admin. They own the house and don't want to get involved in the housemates internal discussions
