The solution was to ask for more volunteer mods, not the nuclear option.
Its surpassing how much they want to control what other people see.
Which they have been doing. They added a bunch of mods to local communities. But it just wasn't enough, according to them.
Well that's what they've said from the beginning. They wanted a more curated and friendly instance, rather than having the old reddit culture.
100% agree, and their need for control is a huge red flag. I don't really want them federated tbh. Already they are trying to use their control over several large communities to influence other instances policies.
