Here's something of a summary, with links, of the more admin-drama angle: https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/User_talk:Raidarr#c-Dmehus-20...

Particularly:

> earlier today Owen had assigned himself checkuser and suppressor rights for "auditing use of permissions" and left Raidarr a talk page message regarding an important email; sometime after that, Raidarr removed all advanced user rights from every wiki in which he held them before removing his local Steward group and making the log summary you're inquiring about. I assume it was the email or maybe a resulting conversation that caused Raidarr to resign; however, this is just speculation

And this specific Discord conversation: https://discord.com/channels/407504499280707585/615786602454...

Which help in translating these otherwise cryptic board minutes: https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Board/Policies/20230607-Minut...

in which the dissolution is discussed as an alternative to training volunteers on legal compliance with the UK Data Protection Act:

> OB clarified both proposals are mandatory under Information Commissioner’s Office advice – we need to ensure we train people appropriate and audit their access and usage of personal information inline with Data Protection Act 2018.

> TH raised a counter proposal of dissolution of the company.
