Here's the beautiful thing about Lemmy and the Fediverse as the whole: Anyone could be a pioneer and create another leopardatemyface community--even in another instance different from lemmy.world. I saw the mod's explanation of locking this community and I think it's a legitimate reason cuz many of us running away from Reddit at least wants something different from the userbase and moderating culture there and .world instance failed to provide it.
Also, I think the .world Admins are aware, and that they have a position on the situation, and most likely they don't give a crap. That's why like I said, any dissenting users could create yet another similar community and try to lure others in to subscribe to it.
We do, a little. But we also can't manually curate the entire instance. For things like this, it really helps if someone comes and talks to us, especially if they're willing to volunteer.
I don't think that was a legitimate reason to lock the sub. Often, when you disagree with someone, you can use words instead of mod/admin tools. And that mod created an obvious strawman to rage against. They wanted much heavier moderation than we typically do, and I don't think we're extremely light on moderation.
