Kbin.social is the official flagship instance representing kbin, and should strive to remain above squabbling over politics, only defederating from instances that are actively harmful.
Lemmy.ml is so far not an actively harmful instance. Plus, most people on kbin would prefer not to be defederated against their will and be unable to subscribe to communities from there.
Appeasing to “most people” would be more of a “democracy” (majority rule) than a “fiefdom”.
It actually might be a good idea to organize some votes in the platform to decide on things like this.

Well, to quote you, if they are not happy they can always: “Find a new instance, this is not your fiefdom here to run.”
