Yeah, they specifically cited not liking that blahaj.zoneās policy that mods (and users) should respect neopronouns, no matter how insane they sound. The idea is that if theyāre a troll, this deals with the problem pretty effectively since nobody wants to be a streaker in a nudist colony, and it also lets the occasional person who actually wants their pronouns to be attack/helicopter to not get bullied for looking like a troll. Point is, the 196 mods thought this was a bad idea. They also didnāt like that Ada required them to have a blahaj.zone account to deal with federation issues.
Thatās not true, they specifically said multiple times that that policy had nothing to do with their decision.
Whether or not we should believe them about that is of course a different question, given that the first any of them publicly floated their harebrained plan was in the replies to some guy bitching about that policy.
