So… sounds like you need a new instance? One that doesn’t defederate from all the content banned by another instance.
The last time I checked FediVerse is rife with Defederation
And thats a good thing! It’s known as a right to free association. You can choose who you hang out with, and who you do NOT hang out with.
Yeah in other words censorship & echo-chambers When you call yourself a “Platform” you don’t get to “associate”
You can always run your own instance and federate with everyone
Oh boy, you have any idea how costly running an instance is ?
I do. It can be pretty cheap if you don’t open it up for other users. Otherwise it can get pricy.
No it isn’t, otherwise everyone would be doing it & it is only “cheap” in 1st-world countries
Most people don’t because they dont have the technical skills to maintain a server or because they dont feel it’s worth the effort with open servers existing. A small vps can be rented for less than $5 per month or a mini pc can be bought for $50. Not everyone can afford that, but those prices are not prohibitive for everyone outside the first world.
The point is I don’t control what the admins do
Be your own admin. The option is there, and let’s you control the admin.
