View submission: The history of the /r/xkcd kerfuffle.
/r/trees started off as /r/marijuana or the like.
Head mod was racist islamophobe, enforced said beliefs on users.
Users lost their shit, founded /r/trees, and now the original is a ghost town.
The example being that it is possible to transfer over when moderation kills a community.

I wasn't aware of that situation. That's good to see that it's been done successfully before. Hopefully, we can do the same.
