Do you really get to set all the rules? This lists no terms of service at this point, but is there any reason to assume that the rules will be significantly more lax than e.g. twitter.com?

As a person who've had their VPS disconnected by OVH over a malicious link posted by a third-party on my service, I am very skeptical.

Additionally other instances could very well block all Togethr instances if they see abuse from customers, the same way they can block an instance if they see abuse from their members.

Every Togethr instrnce has a separate domain name and IP address, so blocking them all for no reason isn't really possible.

Blocking any given one is of course.

By "not possible" you mean that it's not a feature that exists in Mastodon today. In that sense you are right.
I mean there is no way to tell if an instance is hosted by Togethr or not.
It's running a custom version of Pleroma and is therefore very identifiable.
