The mods at [email protected] decided they didnt like the rules at Lemmy.blahaj.zone, and wanted to move to Lemmy.world.
Lemmy.world is.... We'll just say not great for lgbtqia+, especially in consideration of the "teach the controversy" rule that was coming from the admins and is "currently being reworded".
Those mods closed [email protected], and tried to force everyone to .world. Thus was met with... Disagreement.
They reopened [email protected], but the damage was done, and trust was lost. [email protected] was created as the safe alternative from the mods who wanted the ability to allow problematic commenters.
So thats about the story there.
