The better way is one where control resides solely with the user.

The instance admin is legally responsible for everything posted on their instance.
Giving all the control to the users would literally carry the risk of going to prison.

That doesn’t make having a moderator any less bad

As a user, you can:
If you host your own instance and communities within that instance, then at that point, you have full control, right? Other instances can de-federate from yours.

I am aware of that. But still, giving somebody the power to arbitrarily censor and modify our conversation is a fundamentally bad thing.

go outside and have conversations in person if you’re genuinely this concerned about it. you fundamentally have very little control over your device or network connection without deep technical knowledge, so maybe start there?
hedgehog@ttrpg.network 4 weeks ago
Then why are you doing that, and why aren’t you at least hosting your own instance?

That’s embarrassingly ignorant.
