It worked, and was better than my previous instance.

I have problems with control and lack of choice, when my first instance started de-federating willy nilly I started growing distaste on it. To me it wasn’t about what /was/ being censored, to me it was the fact that they were doing so in the first place, while doing so with very little public input. It gave really large Karen/power trip vibes and made me feel like at the end of the day, they didn’t really care about the userbase.
