!android@lemmy.world ended up reopening after it was arbitrary closed to promote another community, without prior consultation, creating dissatisfaction among the users similar to what we are seeing here.

Hopefully this is what will happen here too.

Sorry, let me rephrase it: "Perfect, and then I will lock it down and move it to an instance a majority of the community members dislike."

So the community never belonged to the users, it was only the mods' ?

Start a community and run it the way you like! Expand the Fediverse! Make a place truly your own!

Perfect, and then the mods will lock it down and move to an instance I dislike.

There's a reason !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com exists. One strength of the Fediverse is indeed that the community belong to the users.

My guess is that the 196 mods decided to do this because they have lemmy.world friends who got banned from blahaj.zone. There has been a growing disconnect between some frequent posters of 196, and the rest of the community. They post good stuff and might even contribute a majority of the content on some days, but they also have edgier sensibilities and higher tolerances for bullshit. This situation doesn’t seem ideological to the mods because their motivation is personal. However, personal relationships play a larger role in our beliefs than most people think.

Interesting theory

If enough people are so angry then they will make their own community over at blahaj.zone and proof me wrong but if not, then I guess there probably wasn’t enough demand.

They already have their community, it's !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone

How about reopening the community, and allow a Blahaj admin to take over, asking for new mods and keep the community open?
