I like the double speak of both "condemning cancel culture against users refusing to leave" while at the same time cancelling people who want to leave. Pick one, you can't have both.
Believe it or not, this kind of thing is a fascist tactic, applied on a small scale.
This isn't hyperbolic. The battle lines are a deeply fascinating "animal model" of real political tendencies. I've noticed a marked political split between those who stayed on Freenode and those who moved to Libera. You can probably guess which side is which - the side that stayed is the side afraid of change.
