I'm really confused by this direction? The admin seemed... nice, and all of the users were "let's all be friends and be postivive x!" type people. Not exactly the place for "free speech" dog wistle folks. He's just going to alienate his entire userbase, I don't understand the point.

The video of Lee Kuan Yew crying during an interview following the seperation has always been an interesting watch. Really shows how much he cared about his nation.
Another good one: him discussing how they discovered the CIA trying to bribe an intelligence agent in Singapore. Said agent reported it, so Lee asked the Americans this: we'll let the CIA official go if you give us $100 million to go towards Singapore development. The Americans tried to pay him and his party $10m personally instead. He rejected the offer.
It's being worked on. In the meantime, you can use LASIM to migrate your subscriptions/settings to another instance. You can also mod your accounts on other instances.
Are you that averse to ads that devs can't even promote their other work lol?
NextDNS blocks trackers too
Just block ads with a DNS blocker, eg NextDNS
An instance is just a way to access Lemmy. Lemmy.world, lemm.ee, sh.itjust.works, feddit.uk, etc - you can use any of these to access Lemmy and interact with, and see, all the same content.
It's a problem because most communities are hosted on lemmy.world at the moment, but if lemmy.world ever dies they'll die with it.
Lemmy.world is shitting the bed lately, Lemmyverse is not able to collect data from it.
With lemmy.world having issues, they've restricted their API usage to services such as Lemmyverse (which this bot sources its data from). This means that it can't really accurately reflect changes for lemmy.world communities, which in-turn means the bot is only going to pick up on changes from communties that aren't hosted on lemmy.world. Note the low %'s, these likely aren't actually the highest movers.

https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim/releases/tag/v0.2.1 download the relevant zip and export your Lemmy.world stuff, you can then import it to any other Lemmy instance.
honestly reading this, it just sounds to me like he isn't cut out for community management. It is stressful and hard sometimes, so I get it, but he's going to kill his own site doing this. I did wonder about this before - it seemed like to me he regularly made changes based on feedback on a whim, and these changes were often rushed without much thinking. Needs to know when to pass the baton elsewhere and stick to development, but alas...
The last comments also speak to someone who's probably hiding some contrarian views of his own.
Shame.
