PLEASE KEEP THIS IN MIND:
we, as fans, do not have a right to private information. anything shared with us on this is a privilege. please do not abuse it. the cc's could shut down and never talk about it if we overwhelm them.
also, please keep in mind that ONE HERMIT and THE ENTIRETY OF HERMITCRAFT are NOT THE SAME THING. the entire fandom is not 'ruined' or 'completely unsafe' because of the actions of one person.
PLEASE DO NOT ASSUME THAT THE OTHER HERMITS KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT WHATEVER'S GOING ON WITH ISKALL. this is not some big conspiracy, it's the consequences of one person's actions. they weren't hiding this from us, that's not how hermitcraft works, they truly didn't know. they probably knew as much as us about this, so making it an 'us against them' situation is immature and shortsighted.
mcyt'ers being revealed to be less-than-great people is not a rare thing, sadly, but i've seen it turned into a joke/meme/trend in other fandoms. this both minimalizes the actual people's/victims' struggles, makes the entire situation feel less serious than it is, especially to outsiders looking in, and makes everyone in the fandom look immature, petty, unable to take anything seriously, and genuinely harmful.
this server, fandom, and community are not dying, it is not ruined forever, this is one (major, i'm not trying to minimalize it) issue that we're currently dealing with. it will be okay. we will move on. this is not the beginning of the end. please calm down. i love this fandom, god bless all of you. <3
edit: doc has said on stream that we will likely get more information as time passes. like i said, this is a PRIVILEGE. we are not OWED information. please be grateful for what we're given, and POLITELY ask questions if you must. if a cc doesn't give you the answer you want, or doesn't answer at all, LEAVE THEM ALONE. THIS IS NOT AN EXCUSE TO HARASS PEOPLE. the hermits are likely just as stressed out as us, if not probably more so, so please keep that in mind when contacting them.
don't freak out, we'll be okay, this is not the end of the world, nor is it the end of Hermitcraft. we will be okay.
second edit: please remember that (at least as far as we know) ISKALL AND STRESS WERE NOT KICKED OR BANNED. THEY LEFT OF THEIR OWN VOLITION.
PLEASE DO NOT ASSUME ANYTHING SIMPLY BASED OFF OF OTHER MCYT'ERS PAST ACTIONS/SCANDALS. WE DO NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. WE MIGHT NOT EVER KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. WE NEED TO BE OKAY WITH THAT AND NOT DRAW OUR OWN CONCLUSIONS.
So this theory is about the snails and what their plans after their laundering escapades at Big Ron. So far, the snails have taken over and vandalized Gem's lighthouse, and began tormenting Scar for multiple weeks, modifying his train, excavating his ore mountain and making a success laundering business and finally moved onto enveloping Tango's airship and claiming it as theirs.
Through their displayed prowess the snails have demonstrated multiple times that they can indefinately change volume, multiply and merge themselves, secrete corrosive substances and overtake and control innaminate objects.
And currently they have taken over Tango's steam punk airship for unknown intensions. Establishing their claim by sprouting long, tendrilous stalks for eyes on the front of the airship so what are they planning with this new development of power?
Previously the snails have stolen deepslate diamonds from Scar's ore mountain and constructed a successful laundering business with a net profit so with Tango's copper farm inside, could they steal the copper and sell the crafted copper items for more, sure. If it was a previous update when the crafting materials for copper items were overpriced.
But another potential reason is spreading the ownership of the snails. Stated before, snails have the capability of multiplying and with the introduction of Gem's snail it's possible for other snails to rain down from heavens and be claimed by another hermit. With the airship aimed at Magic Mountain, (where the most amount of hermits are based at) it's a high possibility where the snails could spread their influence to the Magic Mountain Crew and eventually take over the server through the Shopping District.
It was clear before that the (assistant) Permit Manager didn't mind the snail's business as one of them contributed to the success of them so, with the backup of the Assistant Permit Manager, the snails could infiltrate the hermits and finally dominate the server with the dozens of snails backed by their sides.

a collab between me and @slashmagpie for hermitadaymay's Solstice Social Collaborative Event! make sure to check out magpie's amazing fic for this too :D
(alternate ver under the cut)
Fic where Konoha intel somehow find out that a high ranking Akatsuki member is unreasonably horny for Kakashi, and Kakashi gets to go on the most painful honey pot mission of his life w Tobi as his target
Bonus points if the intel is thinking Obito is Madara, like he's always pretending to be
Good morning Kakashi, you got a special mission to go seduce Uchiha Madara, no that is not a joke I'm so sorry ur literally THE only person we can ask to do this
Whether Kakashi has done honey pot missions before or this is his first is up for debate but either way it's sure to be an experience for both him and Obito
So the finale of Wild Life finished around a week ago and essentially Joel pummeled through the final five remaining contestants and ultimately taking the crown as the victor for the sixth (seventh) season of the Life Series and with the final wild card being a culmination of all the previous wildcards except the randomized hunger, it's a safe assumption that the Watchers considered this season a delicious successor to Secret Life.
With 18 members participating that garnered over 180 deaths (186), those dieties who watch over each and every season of the Life Series called the Watchers feast upon the chaos and grief emanating from the pain originating from the players and the multitude escapades caused by the series of wildcards and the improptu angst and interactions between alliances and allies. Although the Watcher's prescence isn't as prominent as Secret Life, (cough cough Taskmaster) there's still details and other aspects of the Watchers incorporated into Wild Life.
Some of these aspects could include the wildcards. As Grian the creator or constructor of the Life Series in general, as control and power over the orchestrated aspects of the Life Series. Like the wildcards, tasks and twists similar to the power of the Watchers. As watchers, the Watchers are able to probe and instigate but not directly influence the players like Scar and his tasks in Secret Life.
Take the immortal snails. Beings of incapable power able to break the player constraints and move in unncanny ways all in the conquest to murder the linked player taken in the form of a snail. An animal nortorious for its slowness and naivete commonly portrayed by popular media has the highest kill count throughout the whole season. Inspired by the theory from the Rooster Teeth Podcast in 2014 that was later popularised by a Reddit post in 2016, the whole premise is that you gain immortality and one million dollars in exchange for an immortal snail that indefinately hunts after you as it itself is also immortal. Tying in with greed and the gain of money all in trade for the eternal worry of death that lurks all around you. Threatening your legacy built from one step of carelessness.
Yet other aspects of the Watchers continue to persist into the subsequent sessions of Wild Life. Like the Trivia Bot. A gameshow-like bot that is most likely inspired by Mettaton from Undertale, suits with the Watchers' polar behaviour of sparking fun, distrust and a precursor to the chaos to the finale. Yet all this fun cluminates to the finale where the chaos continues to rise to the pinnicle of the season where all but one wild card are mushed together for one minute and 45 sec where it stops. And a message of "The ending is yours... Make it WILD" would be the second season in a row of the Watchers or some other external force signifying the beginning of the end.
