       I hear instance admins and moderators "keep people hostage" on this here fedi. At least that's what some people commenting on my BlueSky-related blogpost keep claiming. Somehow always in a "free speech" context. :thaenkin: Anyone feeling taken hostage by their admins/moderators? :blobcateyes:

       @rysiek I dont really understand what they mean :blobcatgiggle: For example: Twitter is just one platform with a set of rules, if you dont like or follow them you are outThe Fedi has thousands and thousands of different servers with each their own rules so always something for you or even setup your own and you are still connected to the whole network :blobcatgiggle: Soo yeah, i dont understand what they mean

       @rysiek my admin doesn't leave me alone. Where I go, they are. They know my darkest secrets and deepest desires, and they control my every move I make. It's as if we're one and the same :blobfoxdeadinside:

       @stux @rysiek I have seen this argument (being allegedly taken hostage by an instance administrator): this could have been an attempt of expressing compassion towards users of an instance that has been blocklisted. However, this view seems to miss the complexity of a situation, eg. an instance might have been wrongly blocked (lack of evidence, outdated data, misunderstanding, inadequate moderation in the past, etc.), or it hasn’t been taken off a blocklist (imperfect appeal procedures). Before users decide to migrate away from a blocked instance, there should be another track assaulted: there should be an effective appeal procedure and fediblocks should not be of undetermined duration. Yes, it is also the case of 101010.pl instance. Ii think this instance is now unfairly treated, but I do not now what to should be best done to have it delisted. (I’m just a user - not an admin).

       @mb I am not going to dive into 101010 stuff, it's a complex subject and I had some thoughts that I had shared way back when on that.But the point I am going to make is that even what you describe is not "your instance  admin holding you hostage." That is, it's not your instance admin that is stopping you (hypothetical, generic "you" here, not you personally) from migrating.So even that reading of that "argument" makes no sense to me.@stux

       @rysiek @stux I agree
