I think what he meant is why launch a second exact same community, with merely 300 subscribers, when there's already an established one like !android@lemmy.world which has now more than 15k subscribers? I noticed that behavior with the r/neovim mods too, they refused to join an existing community. My guess is simply that they want to be in a community where they are still in charge of everything, they're too addicted to their mod "powers" to let go of them.
Back to OP, I think the whole thread and the way r/Android mods just hoped to absorb users of this community is completely inappropriate and simply disrespectful.
When I see people brag about how many subreddits they moderated, I'm always weary. They usually start making demands of the administrators and threaten to go elsewhere.
It's so nice when admins reply "Please do, or make your own. We'll still be able to federate".
And then there's the instances that cave in and let the new community run the show. I have no interest in reddit 2.0 so I just avoid those instances.
