If that's the case, I'd say the new mod did get the memo about Lemmy, and about the fediverse at large, and actually understood the legal risks involved in hosting this community.

Federation works by receiving and locally storing content from remote instances, which means any instance based in the USA is going to assume some significant legal risks by not banning this community.

It's not that they're refusing to let people look through a window into another, remote host. It's that they're refusing to host and serve that content from their own website.
