After reviewing the previous meta post, and discussing with the community moderator, we feel that closing this community is the best option at this time. This community does not have the moderation capacity to handle the content that gets posted, and the rules/culture need to be reworked to prevent the issues that are common here. We got some great suggestions in the linked thread if someone would like to work on this in the future.
Please feel free to offer additional feedback in this thread, and to suggest alternate communities to fill this niche. I can edit this post to add suggestions:

It's had its heyday. Lemmy.ca was a great neutral ground to discuss happening on other servers, but I'm pretty sure the drama was supposed to just be talked about from an observation standpoint, instead of being re-litigated in the fediloredrama thread. I think too many threads devolved into that leading to its downfall.
I never envied anyone having to moderate this community though.
