Hi, it’s just the most popular instance, IIRC, and one of the aims of the fediverse is to prevent centralisation of the service so it’s healthy for the community if users are spread out across different instances. If everyone was on the same instance it is no different than a non-federated service and that can lead to power trips and the fate of communities in the hands of very few.
IDK if there is some internal .world drama going on or not but it’s worth exploring and seeing if there is another instance that might suit you better:
