I checked the contact section and it uses the .ml support account so maybe he does

That just might be where they set up for support questions.
That would mean that lemmy.ml chose to remove lemmy.world from there, which I would think would upset lemmy.world mods.

I believe they publicly stated they removed .world from it to prevent centralization because everyone was going to a single instance, thus defeating the fediverse purpose. But this is all from memory.

The logic it uses is to hide any instances with more than 30% of all active users to prevent centralization, just like you say. There are also some other filters like requiring at least 5 active users.

Yes, that’s correct. But I’m not aware of lemmy.ml mods running it is all I mean. That it randomises the instances for newbies on first view isn’t great either.
