How should we deal with similarly named communities?

Forgive my ignorance, I'm not trying to argue, I just want to understand. What is the benefit of keeping the @lemmy.world one open? Why do people not want to hop over to the @lemdro.id one? I saw the post and just subscribed to the new one, and I thought it was easy enough. I don't see what the difference is, or why it's worth the drama, tbh.
Why should we move when we were already fine with !android@lemmy.world and no one ever asked to move, just because the rogue mod's imposter syndrome kicked in? And even then, whatever the reasons and even if it's "just a few clicks away", forcing this "merger" is simply wrong, barbaric and this is them treating us 19k members as a transferable commodity and even the rogue mod behind the closure publicly admitted that we should not have a say in this and that it's his choice alone. You should definitely go over the context here to see that it is a hostile takeover: https://lemmy.world/comment/980033
Anyway, this is off-topic and the goal was just to point out that the example is not accurate given how the events unfolded and that we are trying to abort that forced "merger" right now.
This will happen again unless tools, culture, and conventions are made and taught in fediverse. Maybe communities having a certain mass should be subject to special rules, like irl.
That link just gives me a server error.
Idk, I think I'm just going to have to settle for not understanding, because nothing you're saying makes sense to me. I personally just want content, and I don't care where it comes from.
