Very much this. I had never spoken to any of the 3 mods personally, as Bab & Saku always felt extremely clique-y (their discord statuses had references to each other, their glitter bombs seemed almost exclusively within themselves) while Jay wasn’t that active during the hours I was on.
No prior announcement was made to let us know they were stepping down. I’m going to assume they did inform the other mods, but in general the rest of the LFD, unless close to them, was clueless.
The countdown thing was in terrible taste and has already been revealed, so I won’t go much into that.
I wasn’t online when the Great Nuking happened, and from the announcement one of the remaining mods made, it was carried out by at least one of the previous 3 mods, as all current had absolutely no say in it. The nuke was caught everyone by complete surprise and was never addressed, even as they continued their stupid countdown.
After that, they all dipped. So yes, their leaving to vacation in Earth probably had nothing to do with the LFD imploding (I remember getting a ping from Jay in the pixel library before all this went down stating their intention to move). Does that make them completely innocent, ‘there are two sides to every story’ victims? No.
And for what it’s worth, the frustration I’ve seen from the LFD in general is not about the removal of the NSFW channels, given that half of the users didn’t even know we had one to begin with, but with the absolute no warning, no acknowledgement, no nothing nuking of every single channel that had mentions of said NSFW channels.
So they can cry and play the victim card all they want, but the truth is that the shit that we’re most upset about was still brought about by them, and unless they can prove otherwise, I say good fucking riddance.
