    Maybe making an account in a big instance is not that great of an idea after all. What benefit does it actually have?

      100%. The best instance to be on is actually your own. Failing that, a small one where the admins are easy to get a hold of.

      Big ones that offer extra goodies might become a thing ala Gmail, but I expect they will vet and monitor their users so nobody has to block them.

      Edit: Annoyingly, I can’t respond to Kbin users,

        Hard disagree. You’re stating a subjective opinion about the experience you want to have as a hard fact about the experience everyone else should have. You don’t get to tell other people what they like.

        Being on an instance that is well-moderated without you having to do that work yourself is one of the selling points of fedi apps. I am sure a huge number of people who signed up on Beehaw wanted exactly this.

        At some point they will change to whitelist, which will ban all single user instance as well.

          The root problem is that identity is tied to an instance at all. For a federated system, the lack of federated identity / single sign on is baffling.
