Couldn't you just spin up your own instance that only consists of yourself in that case? I'm not being facetious I'm genuinely baffled as I thought this kind of custom plug-and-do-yourself-if-you-dont-like-it is fundamental to how fediverse works and is considered a "perk" of it.

The fediverse is not designed to scale to single-user instances. If it was designed for the in the first place then yes, this wouldn't be a problem.

Uh. That would actually solve the problem, but at the cost of having to operate that setup. I saw many people who self-hosted their instance but it seemed rather stressful dealing with some technical aspects, so initially didn't consider it.

Currently researching managed fedi hosting...

So you expect someone else to incur that cost and not exercise control over how their resources are used, so you can use it for free/low effort?

[blueflow]

Valid concern... but my conclusion from that is that the Fediverse is just a bunch of personal lawns you'd better stay away from.

I mean, yeah, that's the whole point of the Fediverse. It makes explicit that internet spaces are just sets of lawns.
