That's not good. After the latest NixCon I thought the community and the governance structure were relatively balanced and mostly in agreement. It seems I was mistaken...
I kinda like most people both in the SC and the moderation team, it's sad to see them disagree to this extent. I guess the "political appointment" was a right-wing one? I think the mod team were doing some good work keeping the discussion LGBT-friendly and not allowing most hateful views to be expressed, which apparently counts as left-wing nowadays.
Kind of hard to tell without seeing the actual mod decisions. But usually these things are super opaque and the official discussions are super vague so it pretty much is he said she said.
That said, this is definitely waaay better than the vaguebooking that the Rust mod team did when they quit.
