I would rather have left a comment or reported the comment, but I couldn’t because I was banned. I had to escalate My response. My response did not cause LOC to leave the mod team, they were already suffering from burnout and other issues with moderation. The change was already coming, and LOC decided to make it after they misgendered Me. I’ve been in this community since then trying to lower tensions by pointing out that the issue of division with Mindtraveller was solved, and I offered to mod in order to continue to undo the contributions My post made to the drama. I’ve been talking with kittenzrulz over Discord, and they say they have issues with communicating assertively. This has lead some users to feel that this community’s mod team is distant and uncommunicative, and this has lead to paranoia about their intentions. Having spoken with kittenzrulz, I can say that they wish only the best for this community and everyone involved in all this. They’re just nervous about saying the wrong thing and making the problem worse. They want to respect the community’s wishes as best they can. The only problem is that a lot of users want LOC back, and this is impossible because LOC doesn’t want to mod anymore. kittenzrulz doesn’t have LOC’s level of confidence which made a lot of the users here feel at ease.
