Startrek.website is known for power tripping, which is why the new community was created: https://lemmy.world/post/10461985

Yes, and because they were unhappy with how the moderation was handled, they left and made their own community. Which is always a possibility. This is exactly my point! :D

But this is a different situation.

In Star Trek, members were unhappy with the moderation and created their own community.

For 196, the members are happy with the community, the mods want to change instances for "reasons". They could leave the old community open and let the admin organize the follow up, but instead they lock it down, preventing any of the happy members to take over.

And as far as I know, the mod team was unhappy how blahaj.zone was moderrated and moved their community.
