I don't care about the details of any instance mod/admin drama. This would all be mostly unnecessary if your identity and posts weren't tied solely to a domain, thus entirely depending on whoever controls said domain.
The proposals and prototypes for portable identity and real portability of content are out there. But the @Mastodon devs don't seem to be interested, and the @swf's E2EE project (which would necessarily cover user keypairs) ended with no real results AFAICS.

After having participated in this space for so long (Web dev for ~25 years now, identica user at the time, Mastodon instance since 2017), I have to say it's difficult not to conclude that most fediverse developers actually desire fiefdoms and admin control, and that that's also why Meta is fine with ActivityPub.
Please prove me wrong, or at least tell me how I can see this in a different light!
