tl;dr for lemm.ee:
In short, somebody posted a pro-Elon-Musk-doing-a-nazi-salute Valentine's Day meme and the mods left it up so people started complaining in other communities and the admins realized "you know, we never see reports from our instance's most controversial community" because the mods were quick to act leaving everything up. So the original salute poster was banned and all the mods were dethroned as the admins are taking a wait-and-see approach on what to do with the community.
I haven't found a comment about what happened at .world yet but there are zero mods for their community too.
Power tripping mods getting their comeuppance!
There's an ancient mod who doesn't post anymore, a bot, and a fascist mod. That's who they are now.
