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.

Is a hypothetical that is irrelevant. It’s not a good reason for hosting your own instance, which is what I’m trying to understand.

Good enough for me, so I did it. Why do you post on the fediverse rather than somewhere like reddit or twitter? I’m not sure I get where you’re coming from.

I’m trying to understand why anyone would opt to self host an instance just for themselves. What are the benefits? A hypothetical that has likely never happened isn’t a benefit.
