Feel like Im missing a lot of context.

AFAIK, it goes something like this:

  1. One moderator from fosstodon is not 100% aligned to the prevailing ideology on Fedi.
  2. Someone on Mastodon found "bad" posts from said moderator.
  3. The mob went on to presume that someone that is not 100% aligned to their prevailing ideology is unfit to be considered human - let alone a moderator - so they went after the admins.
  4. The admins claimed to have reviewed said mod actions, didn't find anything out of the ordinary, but still got rid of them.
  5. Regardless of actions and reactions, the mob now successfully tainted the name and reputation of the instance.
  6. Less-principled users of fosstodon are now just leaving the instance, for fear of being associated with them.
  7. One of fosstodon's admins (the author of the blog post) is now saying "Screw you guys, I'm going ~~home~~ to Bluesky"

EDIT: There's more to it. Seems like said mod is also active on Reddit (https://lemm.ee/post/60365167)

So, the usual "on the Fediverse you shalln't be anything less than immaculately perfect" crap?
