What I'm saying is that this is a unique instance. I also think that for my purposes, .world is a much better option, and I think that for most people, it's a much healthier and more stable place. I'm just not sure that the rest of lemmy can survive without .ml - It is literally where the development of the platform happens.
What do you do when you have defederated from the developers of the platform you're using? How do you have a working relationship to meet users needs? Someone will say just fork it, but that's essentially the same as launching a new platform. As I mentioned, others have done exactly that, partly for technical reasons relating to the vision of what the platform should be, but also for political reasons.
I'm not advocating for anything, i'm simply stating some of the realities of the platform we are using.
Lemmy.world will happily destroy lemmy as a whole if their only other choice is allying with leftists.
Fracturing the space is way more destructive than whatever you mean by destructive moderating, since the moderating will only affect some communities and even within that, some users while defederating will split the user base.
You're talking like a totalitarian. People with this worldview should not hold power, and certainly should not determine what is acceptable discourse.
It is disappointing to see that some Americans/Westerners are allergic to disagreeing worldviews. Apparently diversity is only permitted so long as it broadly supports liberal democracies and capitalist understandings of history.
Sickening stuff. Makes me think Lemmy isn't much better than Reddit, particularly if this attitude becomes more prevalent on here

This is what Tankies seem incapable of understanding. We don't dislike you because you're leftists. We dislike you because you're authoritarian simping assholes.
Go to ml and condemn Russia for their war crimes against LGBT Ukrainians. See how long it takes for you to get banned for going against their beloved country.
