Rimu not simply happy with deleting comments is removing entire users now to suppress people countering his lies.

Free speech is banned on PieFed.Social, only praise of dear leader is allowed.

I suspect they mean that you can run your own instance, but in practice most users fall for the 'trap' of using someone else's instance where they have no control over what happens to their accounts and what they post.

I don't think it's that big of a deal and thay you're absolutely right that you don't have to support a developer or that you can hop to another instance, giving users more equity and agency.

Even if you run your own instance, your ability to access most communities is still at the whims of the dictators who run a few large instances.

Yea, this.

I’d say that whether it’s a big deal is up to what people expect and want. The issue I was citing is that Fedi drama often involves, IMO, a disconnect between what the Fedi offers and what people expect.
