There's no "official instance", it's free software - lemmy.ml isn't even a recommended instance at https://join-lemmy.org .
It's you that's perpetuating that association.
You can't base your software choices on whether or not you agree with their creators political beliefs or else you won't use anything. The creator of Javascript has expressed controversial opinions about same-sex marriage and most of the web uses it.
Come the fuck on buddy.. lol..
Also it's number 1 under popular on that page.
That's because it's a popular instance.
Feel free to use what you like, of course, that's the beauty of the fediverse, but I don't understand what you're hung up about now having explained it to you.
This is one of their announcement posts.

I really don't think it's a wild stretch to say that the people who run an instance that is moderated with a clear political agenda, who actively say that their intent is to promote that agenda, and who are officially promoting that instance in their capacity as developers - are in fact doing so in order to promote that agenda.
But hey, maybe that's a reach.
