    The original community was [email protected], but the mods went on a “we own this community, not the users” power trip. They tried to forcibly migrate the community to [email protected] instead, to consolidate power with the admins over there. The users revolted. The mods quickly reversed course, but the damage was already done and the community’s trust was already broken. [email protected] was created as a protest against the 196 mods, and has been thriving ever since.
