That’s the real value prop of the fediverse. My masto presence is a single user instance, and for a whopping $9 a month, I am not forced to see any content I’d prefer not to.

I am beholden to my hosting, whose values and general business model I did a bit of due diligence on before signing up to be sure they aligned with mine.

So much simpler to enjoy the experience this way.
