If there would “hypothetically” be an instance owner(like what even is that, just a guy or group having servers somewhere?) that censores in bad faith, could it do that to the communities on there too? Could they just take out certain communities or delete content on it, affect the responsive moderators, etc?

Like how do I know I’m not on a community dependent on u/spez filtering out everything about insurance for his corpo bros?

I hope my questins make sense

    yea home is nice, would be cool if that is a norm every instance does! like patch notes in games

    so the developers cannot do anything with another instance? like they cant access their data or backend and mess with these or like switch off stuff, right?

      Every instance is free to manage things differently, users are also free to move to instances with higher transparency and communication

      Correct. If it was not thee case, I can tell you most of us wouldn’t be here
