  Of what exactly?

    A personal reason is that your identity on the fediverse is defined by who owns your private key (used for cryptographically signing your posts), and your domain, anybody who owns these can impersonate you or modify your posts without your knowledge.

    I control both now so I’m UNSPEZABLE.

      That’s not really an issue in reality. You’re afraid of an instance owner posting under your account?

        Not any more :) I don’t know any of these people in real life, some people host instances for their real life friends and family, or long time online acquaintances, which would be acceptable to me.

        It actually did happen in reality on Reddit, an admin called spez changed the content of a user post. I don’t know if there’s ever been a rogue admin on the Fediverse, there’s no way of knowing.
