Instead of leaving it to the useer, it’s as if you want to change it to "follow the list of this mainstream person/newspape’.

The instance admins are free to express themselves just as much as any other group of people. If you don't like the outcome of their decision then you're also free to go and create an instance or move instances.

If a majority of their users decide they don't like the actions the administration of that instance are taking they can always move instances to one that more closely aligns with their viewpoints. If they choose to stay then clearly they agree and are very likely part of the group you clearly don't want to be associating with.

Nobody is entitled to the service that instance admins offer, and users are free to move as they see fit. Reddit made a unilateral decision we didn't like and now we're all here, why is a Lemmy instance any different?

If you don't like the Reddit change you're free yo go.. if you don't like this you're free to go.

Yeah. I get it. It's just so limiting. It's not sold as "the forum where God like admins get to say exactly how things go an malleate at their willing". Even forums had people do their own stuff without breaking or mass banning every 5 minutes.

Your last point on "this is no different to reddit" is amazing. Yes. It's different. Right now it's worse. Less people who contributeless and destroy the shape and userbase of the network everytime they don't fully get their way.

It's really looking worse. In subs, mods with power trips could be easily replaced. Here you need an account per instance and the subs get fractured.

I thought it was just beehaw but holy hell the entitled attitude to not have to listen to any type of dissent ever. Don't worry, you won't be exposed to too many users. You'll get your wish.
