I'm not going to do that, sorry. They are volunteer moderators of an extremely niche internet community based around posting random memes, and they locked the community and then unlocked it like a day later. There is nothing that I could possibly read that would make me view this situation as an "epic fuck-up" or something that people will even remember occurring years from now.

Take a step back, get off Lemmy and go do something fun IRL and then come back and post about it. That's the kind of content we need, not all of this judgment and whinging about pedestrian drama.
