No, anyone gatekeeping Lemmy users who aren’t on the largest instances are fundamentally working against how the fediverse is supposed to work. lemm.ee is smaller, and generally politically neutral, but it also seems to properly moderate hate speech, violence, harassment, and illegal content. As long as that persists, all should be good.

If it ever comes to a “be on .world or you’re sus”, then .world can just disable federation and become Reddit 2 while the rest of Lemmy embraces decentralization.
