Peter Lewis#feditips #fediverse How dependent is a given mastodon user (realistically) on the whims and preferences of an instance mod? Like are you really putting your whole profile in their hands, or is there more to it than that?
mrpieceofwork@neighbor totally depends on the community within, as they can take over if the main admin is f-ing up, if it's that type of community. And you have the most control, out of anybody, of your profile. Lastly, it's very unlikely any one mod is going to be a bad actor like that.
volkrisThat’s it.
It’s their server running the instance; they can do what they want with it unless there’s some sort of legally binding agreement on file.
