It is, or at least partially... From what I understand a user(Lmao/Angled) was "sub-lemmy camping" (took up thousands of popular sub names and wasn't doing anything with them) so lemmy world banned him from that instance. He had a hissy fit and "vowed revenge" and has been attempting to do as much damage to .world as he/they could since. I can't find the original post but https://old.lemmy.world/post/943832 and https://old.lemmy.world/post/1720870 has a bit of detail.
Edit: added some info
Imagine spending so much time doing something as pointless as that and spending even more time (and maybe money) throwing a hissy fit when things don’t go your way.
Yeah, unfortunately that egotistic extreme response is prevalent and encouraged in current affairs.
some people don't advance beyond the toddler stage
Wow what a complete loser. Reddit mod behavior
If this is accurate it's particularly funny in light of the fact that every instance can have a community of a given name. It's not taken for every instance once one instance makes a community of a particular name, haha.
Oh that's juicy. It's like arch nemesis type stuff
Interesting drama
