Drag saw 196 mods mentioning their plan to move instances after Ada told them not to misgender trans people. "Ideological differences", huh? Wonder what that's code for
You did piss off a couple of powerusers dedicated to instance wars, but the mods are working to insist that's not what any of this is about.
In the past 15 hours drag has read a lot about why the mods did it. Apparently, they weren't closing reports on Blahaj, so Ada actioned them, and Ada was stricter with the rules than they liked.
When Ada said neopronouns aren't trolling, drag saw a lot of transphobic comments on 196 that the mods weren't removing. Drag was already banned from the community at that time and couldn't report them, so drag contacted Ada directly, and Ada removed them.
At that time, moving the community out of the instance was a "maybe". Perhaps neopronouns were the last straw. At the time, the 196 mods were saying they didn't agree with the removals and bans of transphobia and misgendering.
