Is Lemmy.World going to do anything about community squatting? (lemmy.world)

A good example is https://lemmy.world/c/documentaries

One of their mods, https://lemmy.world/u/sabbah, currently mods 54 communites despite only being on Lemmy for about a month and has never posted on c/documentaries (except for his post asking for people to join his mod team).

The other mod, https://lemmy.world/u/AradFort, has one post to c/documentaries and moderates 18 communities.

Does Lemmy.World have a plan to remove this kind of cancer before we start getting reddit supermods here too?

Edit: This comment shows how this is even more dangerous than I had thought.

Edit2: Official answer from LW admin is here

Final: Was going to create an issue for this on the Lemmy github, but I browsed for awhile and found that it had already been done. If anyone wants to continue the discussion there, here it is - https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3452

Perhap we need another issue for the problem in the original edit (It being impossible currently to remove a 'founding' mod without destroying either the community of their account)

They have been DDoSed twice in the last few days, I guess they are working on that as a top priority

Oddly I found today that the lemmy.world IP had ended up on a 'bad IPs' list amd was blocked off at my edge. Not sure how the inteligence picked that up unless someone manually submitted them just the lulz.

Specifically they ended up here: https://cinsarmy.com/list/ci-badguys.txt
