One of the divide by 0 admins (ironically called Unruffled) got upset an .ml user posted a meme making fun of people who speak out against pirating from multimillion corporations. Unruffled decided the meme was a personal attack, saying all privileged westerners are against pirating, presumably because they're illiterate. Instead of explaining to Unruffled how words work, db0, the site owner, decided to defend them, then moved into harrassing one of our admins through DM, copping them both bans.
Then our admins were like "I guess if we're banning their admins we should probably defederate from them huh" and we said "no, staying federated would be much funnier" and here we are.
