I just see a bunch of people who used to like the community now saying the mods are evil and power tripping and stuff. It's the an actual reason? Why do we hate the mods over one small decision? Is it not as small as I realize?

Idk it just feels really shitty seeing people in the new blahaj 196 brigade the new community the mods set up, do you really have to downvote everything here just bc you disagree with the mods? I don't think .world was the best choice, but Ada is real bad for power tripping and permabanning people for dissenting opinions sometimes, and I respect the decision to move. I'm not big on being banned bc I dared question whether or not trump (the guy who cheated last election) cheated, so the move is very much good news imo. What really is the issue here?

Is this something that's usually communicated to a community in advance/decided by a community poll?

Ideally, yeah. It's something that affects the community as a whole, usually you would discuss it with said community. Even though the issue is primarily the admin not allowing the mods to moderate themselves and just from my personal experience with Ada, she doesn't seem to even want to discuss anything once she's made a decision. In which case leaving is the only solution when you're up against a bad actor like that.

Fair enough, I haven't seen this happen a lot so I didn't know that's a thing mods usually announce. It def sucks that they didn't give more warning or let the community have a say, and it really sucks that they moved to an instance that some big instances are defederated from
