That’s basically why I think it might be a solution to the problem, because as the other thread shows neither group seems all that happy about a moderation team that they don’t feel has their backs (in terms of wholehearted support), while internally it appears to be leading to division or at least people stepping back as well.
Regarding payment: I don’t know if @Dalton_Raccoon can pay, but I could. I can arrange a server if that makes it easier. But I don’t know if such a split would be what he wants, or the majority of Lamplight visitors want. Having some of the tweaks I mentioned above to make it into more of a linked confederacy of realms (akin to moving from one Discord server/guild to another) would probably help.
