I never knew that community existed since I don't read All (too spammy) nor do I search for alt-right topics. No idea how OP found it unless they were simply looking for shit to stir up.
I'm guessing it's as you suggested, they looked for a reason to be offended.
I don't think I'll ever see any content from it even though I don't block it (not going to put in the effort to find it so in can block it). I have my subscriptions and largely stick to those.
So eh, I don't really care. However, if the cause problems in places I frequent, I'll report and block them.
AFAIK, the community is now gone. The user was deemed in violation of the instance's rules and banned from the instance. It wasn't banned because the community name matched a troublesome community on Reddit, it was because of actual rule breakage.
And that's how moderation should work imo, and that's why I stick with that instance. I appreciate transparency and restraint. I like how the admin is giving up a lot of decision making to the community instead of deciding everything himself (see !agora@sh.itjust.works). The only intolerance I've seen has been from users responding to posts like these, and those users end up either deleting their accounts or getting banned (not sure which, I'm still learning about lemmy moderation).
In short, it isn't a problem and it likely won't be a problem. Don't bail on a community because it takes a day or two to respond to an issue, bail because the admin isn't resolving concerns at all. I've heard email signups are also live on sh.itjust.works, and I'm guessing 2FA will be an option soon as well (haven't checked, I've been heads down working on lemmy-adjacent projects).
