That's not salty, the developers intentionally state it's not the flagship instance and ~~help promote more "centrist" instances~~ have stated a desire to see "mainstread, or liberal" instances to avoid lemmy.ml becoming... what it just became.

Here is one of the devs saying so, in an official announcement post linked in the lemmy.ml sidebar: https://lemmy.ml/post/70280

Currently i seen:

They temp banned Yogthos for week but not anyone who were attacking him.
They banned Freagle for 3 days for arguing, again, none of guys attacking him was banned
They removed some comments by an open fascist troll, not banning him:

Appointed new admin, seems kinda liberal iirc
Only one of the new fash was banned (for a month), and he needed to write something like this:

Which community is this? Are communities allowed sovereign control over their content or does this fall onto the shoulders of the devs since it is in the primary Lemmy instance?

Afaik all lemmy communities had to respect overall lemmy rules, but they are free to make their own too. I'm not sure who deals the bans, but i guess lemmy admins can override community mods since i seen some weird ban/unban combos few times.
