It wasn’t defederation, just migration. But they never asked the community whether they agreed with that or not.
It was a disagreement between a couple moderators and an instance admin, with the users caught in the middle left wondering “wtf is going on?”
The part that was most abrasive to the users, I think, was that they initially closed the 196 community on Blahaj, ostensibly to not confuse people about which community was now in use, but causing the exact opposite reaction (since again, they never consulted the users before making this move).

c/196 had a mod who did something like defederate from an instance without asking the users (I’ll see if I can find it) and everyone said adios

Can mods defederate from other instances? Thought only admins could do that.
Though I suppose you could just ban all users from that instance to achieve the same effect?

I always love how a small group of people get a tiny bit of power, then fuck everything up. Reddit, Lemmy, Facebook, whatever, always the same story.
