I think in that case the "forced" centralisation is purely constructed. There are no mechanisms preventing somebody from creating an android community in their own instance and federating it with lemmy.world. Even if !android@lemmy.world is permanently locked, that fact isn't really a barrier to entry for another android community to pop up, just that that community was able to establish a subscriber base over time but I don't see why another android community couldn't do the same given some time, especially if the available android communities at the moment are locked and restricted.
