Let's keep in mind this doesn't really mean anything for Lemmy instances. It is open source.
True, but there are not very many people contributing a lot of code, so this guy has a lot of sway over which items get prioritized out of the massive backlog.
And as a mod, I’d really like the few people coding to produce some expanded moderation tools… so I can easily spot and address toxic comments like the ones this dev makes.
IMHO, this guy’s behavior feels like it conflicts with his current influence over Lemmy’s mod toolset.
Edit: typos
Ive been working on a soft fork of lemmy called Pangora to prioritize development on different areas that the main lemmy codebase has been neglecting (such as mod tools). Gives a different option than the main lemmy codebase for supporting development and as redundancy for if anything goes wrong (although not production ready atm as its still getting mostly set up) !pangora@programming.dev

Really glad this exists. Thanks for all your work.
Stories like these can make it less likely that other people contribute to the code, making the platform grow slower, which affects all instances.
