Actually, that could be the reason why sometimes the user finds things unacceptable, because some instance owners treat their instance like their “own little walled garden.” It’s a real pain to shop for an instance when you don’t want a walled garden but rather an open medium through which to access content you wish to see. I see some instance owner decisions as reasonable (like staying away from misinformation and fake news) and I see others as a little bit unreasonable. I try to stay out of walled gardens. I like to roam free and make decisions for myself because I’m a smart boy, I know what I want and how I want it.
The best way to have your own open medium is really to run your own instance though, the second best way is to find small instances run by admins who followed the best way.
