There's been a [very unpopular sacking](https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/334248/an-update-to-our-community-and-an-apology?cb=1) of a very popular moderator on Stack Exchange, and [it seems that](https://worldbuilding.meta.stackexchange.com/a/7513) "about 35 moderators have either resigned in protest or gone on strike in relation to the chain of events".

Was this the reason for the recent loss of at least one EL&U moderator?
