A quick look at https://scifi.stackexchange.com/users?tab=moderators would suggest that we're at three mods rather than the usual complement of five four.
Anything to report?

9We were aware this time, just not quick enough in announcing it (we have other things to announce as well). Stand by stackizens...– AncientSwordRage ModCommented May 16, 2021 at 12:05

8@valorum, that's a terrifying mental image. I may have to go lie down before making any announcements.– AncientSwordRage ModCommented May 17, 2021 at 8:04

Yes.
In the last couple of weeks, Stack Exchange staff reached out to two of our site's moderators who hadn't done anything on the site for a while. I don't know exactly what happened in those communications, since they were off-site and private between CMs and those individual moderators, but the end result is the removal of the two inactive moderators.
As I mentioned before, the remaining mods were caught off-guard the first time this happened, since Rosie was called AFK in the time between removing Kevin's diamond and dropping a message into our mod chat. We were informed the second time, but we neglected to post anything to inform the community. I apologise on behalf of the remaining mod team for this omission: we should keep you informed when things like this happen, and it's not a good look for missing moderators to be announced by "what just happened?" posts from community members. Sorry about that.
