I agree that some of the modding behaviors have been a bit on the petty side lately... But I see that as a problem with the mod or workload, not the movement or idea.
I follow ideas, not people. People are fickle & flawed. If we insist on following people, we will never go anywhere. Though, yes, leaders can make or break a movement's momentum, that's not the point or the end all be all.
If you leave a movement just because of the people in it, I think that means you never really were part of the movement to begin with. Or maybe the reasons you started following it are not the same as the ones at its core. Maybe you were searching for community, not ideas or truth. And this is not the community.
Which is fine. Nothing wrong with looking for community. You do you.
But you mention you were involved, and it sounds like you're looking for more than just a community, so I'm just saying.
Not sure what I did to you besides crack a harmless Elizabeth Warren joke (kek) & point out what I thought were flaws in your recent online interactions from what perspective I've got (maybe not so kek, but don't think it's a bad thing, either)... But line's always open if you want to talk about ideas!
