Content is basically avaliable to everyone regardless of what you end up choosing. At worst, they can block an instance from interacting with another.
Most problems can just be solved by moving to a new instance that meets your needs. Or if you really must, make your own with your own rules.
My concern is an instance shutting down and losing access to all that information. I can always make a new account, but losing all that info from the entire instance could be a big problem. Maybe by then tho people will archive them somehow.
The most extreme case I can think of would be instances blocking everyone but themselves or a few select instances, and forcing everyone within them to follow their rules to access it. But I feel like that would be hard to pull off, people would just jump ship way before it gets to that point.
I will see how Lemmy develops, but if I do stick around, I think I will host my own private 1-person instance.
