MODERATORS
Previous owner of Godot Community Forums got burned out and didn't curate the first month of co-owning this platform - here we have a clear-cut case study against prematurely transferring ownership. One could look at it and think that Cybereality took over the forums only to sabotage them in a few weeks. But it might be a rather spontaneous product of zir heated discussion and disagreement with Juan, so I'd write this off to a "happy" coincidence. Cybereality already explained it's about confusion around allegedly broken promises with W4 and Godot Foundation.
Looking at the bigger picture, it's a case study of problems with centralization of community in confines of something close to walled garden, around the project that is supposed to be as open as a vocabulary. More the reason to raise awareness of Lemmy communities, Matrix Public Archive, etc.
