They fractured in the first place because the mods had issues with the admin of the instance, so they decided to move to a different instance. It fractured further because the mods didn't say shit to the users, they just moved, which, rightfully, pissed a lot of people off.

Yeah, and chose the worst possible instance to go to, to boot.

Oh, c'mon, there are worse ones out there.

.world is the most aggressively mid of the instances. It's gruel. It's tasteless, it's lumpy and uneven, and sometimes you feel like the cook didn't know what the fuck they were doing when you find a husk in your spoonful. And, considering the nature of gruel, the cook very likely didn't know what the fuck they were doing.

But it's not poison and it's not dogshit, and there's a lot of it to go around.

But yeah, the whole move was a catastrophe.

I mean sure, but those are kind of obviously terrible choices. But .world is the bottom of bottom rungs for lgbtqia friendliness and protections, especially considering past behavior of admins and their ever changing terms, including the "teach the controversy" crap that got pulled to get re-worded.

Of all the possible choices that aren't an instance thats just chock full of Nazis and defederated from just about anything else, yeah, .world is a pretty shit choice.
