Perhaps the weidos became too weird and became ostracized.
In ancient Greece, citizens whose power or influence threatened the stability of the state could be exiled through a practice known as ostracism. Voters would elect to banish another citizen by writing that citizen's name down on a potsherd. Those receiving enough votes would then be subject to temporary exile from the state. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ostracized
