That is a very good point. I'm such a situation the only two choices are to make their community your home and play by their rules (what many of us just left Reddit over) or ignore it and interact with the content and communities you can.

okay by their rules (what many of us just left Reddit over)

People are leaving Reddit over their moderation rules? I thought the CEO did something with the API.

But I mean, yeah, people who have compatible instance rules will federate and the people on those instances will have agreed to those rules. I think you might be overestimating how restrictive typical rules are, unless you think transphobia being called "not okay" is too restrictive.

redditors have been sick of reddit for ages and have been looking for an excuse to leave. this api drama is the excuse.

I meant that people are leaving Reddit over Reddit pulling up the walls around them and restricting who and how you can interact with their content.

I think it's fair to consider the Reddit admins making unilateral decisions that drastically alter how users can use the platform as "their rules".
