The instance list is fine as is. Think about it like this: do you want racists to join a single instance so they are all in one place? Or do you want them to spread across all different instances, causing moderation problems everywhere?

It's possible that anti-racist, queer or any other serious organisations might not want to link to join-lemmy.org because of it.

Thats fine, they can provide their own list of instances where users can choose from.

They are on your list (which is seen as the official one by many and has most visits) to guide transphobes and fascists to their fitting community?? Exploding-heads is not labeled as transphobe and fascist on join-lemmy. So that does't make sense.
