    Why shouldn’t the instance owner make that choice? It’s their hardware, time, money, and desire that made that instance. As soon as I start one, first thing I’m doing is making sure it never gets federated with fashy instances or meta.

      Yeah this is a weird spot with who really wants to control things. I would argue anyone with a strong opinion one way or the other should probably self host. Those that can’t will need to find an instance where their views line up with the instance admin.

      Ultimately I think you’re right though, instance admin has final say since uh, they’re the admin. Anyone who wants to admin a huge instance probably would leave it open for users to decide though.
