I mean as a non-admin. Users on Mastodon are at the mercy of the instance owner. On Bluesky (and nostr) they are not.

    Then users need to spin up their own instance, right? Then all their posts stay backed up if they choose?

    Seems like a mediocre problem to get bent out of shape enough to move to a centralized platform.

    Completely impractical for most people but this advice gets unironically thrown around all the time. And evangelists still wonder why regular people think the fediverse and particularly Mastodon are convoluted af.
