They were literally just asking mods to actually do some work and not simply banning people who disagreed with them or said particular phrases or keywords that many use to indicate a bad actor, without actually seeing if they were indeed a bad actor. Like what blahaj not only does, but is proud of.
They postponed the changes until they can better clarify what the intent was due to all the blowback from people who didn’t understand that.
Using an example of allowing flat earth comments was apparently the exact opposite of what they were trying to get mods to stop moderating, which doesn’t generate much confidence in them getting it right the second time.
I think it’s kind of funny that they mention to allow the flat earth comments when just previously saying that they want to prevent cult-like behavior; flat-eathers won’t listen despite the evidence. Then again, verifiability doesn’t seem to be holding strong these days
