I am angry, you are right and I will stop interacting with the very person who forced this takeover and forced !android@lemmy.world to shamelessly become a redirection page, because usually nothing good comes out of interacting with people acting in bad faith since the start.

Whatever the parties involved advance, they acted in bad faith and reconciliation is not possible when they want this instance's community to die first and siphon off its users, and they still defend that they have the right to force this over the 19K subscribers who had no say in this. They call this "moderator discretion" and us simply being "out of luck". This is why a reconciliation is not possible.

The right course of action is to officially treat !android@lemmy.world as being abandoned by its mods, remove the "current" mods (who have no claim to the community anymore, since they themselves abandoned it and cannot act in its interest since they made it clear that their goal is to have only one main community over at the Reddit mods' instance) and then appoint new moderators. I even volunteer to do so, select new ones from that same community and maintain its activity.

The only way to solve this is for the community to be reopened again under new moderators. And the old mods and the Reddit mods can obviously pursue their own plans on their new instances.
