    They can decide for themselves. They can run their own server or join a server that has few rules (although that server may get defederated by others).

    That’s way more freedom than you get on non-federated social media.

      It’s freedom in the loosest sense. As in there’s more options. Would it still be freedom if a government makes choices for you? I suppose if I have the means to move to a different country it technically still is. Still distasteful. I don’t know the people that run my instance. Why should I trust them to know what’s best? We’ll see how it shakes out.
