I guess I was reacting to "Genuenly im not sure which is worse", but yeah you explained why. ML has both admins (+mods) and also users spewing toxicity while for Lemmy.World it's mostly just admins (+mods) that people complain about, but not the users, beyond what might be expected from any large instance filled to the brim with Reddit refugees.:-)
But anyway it's good to join communities and especially to post to those outside of Lemmy.World for other reasons as well, chiefly that it's not taking full advantage of the concept of federation if everything is all concentrated onto just one instance.
And all of this drama is a perfect example as to why that matters: people wouldn't care so much what one mod did (I am not even subscribed to that community in the first place, in fact I blocked it long ago) or one set of admins if similar communities were distributed elsewhere all around the Fediverse. Federation is supposed to bring freedom, but that comes only if we decide to make use of it.
