So NixOS has a board. The board created a constitutional committee, and gave it a mandate to create a constitution. The constitution creates a steering committee, and that committee created a moderator team and mandated it with moderating the forum. The moderator team demanded that the steering committee resign because they felt like they meddled too much in the affairs of the moderator team. When the steering committee refused to resign, the whole moderator team did instead.
