It isn’t even like this is reddit where you have to deal with whatever reddit gives you. Anyone can spin up their own instance and federate from whoever they want or defederate from whoever they want or keep whatever posts they want or delete whatever posts they want.
The thing is, imo it’s about control of others. You can own and operate your instance however you want, but what people really want is to dictate what others get to see and do.
