My experience is completely different than yours in this regard. I found .ml to be very unwelcoming of any differing opinions and I had submitted posts removed with no reason given. When I switched to .world, it felt more open to varied news sources and discussions.
End of the day, what's great about the fediverse is we don't have to agree and can find a community that works for us.
I see posts and comments on .world criticizing Israel and America all the time. I'm not sure why you think that?
I sort by local first, then all instances. Top of 6 hour.
