Which puts fuckheads like me in a tough spot, since I want a classic "old internet" (read as: 4chan culture of shitheadery) feel to the place, but also don't want to infringe on people like you's ability to enjoy a relatively clean internet space.
Given everything, I think having "clean" servers that defederate from toxic ones is probably the way to go just to ensure new users can have a generally good time. Then let more advanced users (like me) go find the "never defederate" instances to sign up to get that old timely feel.
So....uh, yeah TL;DR: I think I'm on the other guy's side, but also think you have the right of it.
You can host your own (single user) instance, which IMO is the best option with your particular mindset.
Yeah, the real issue is that I'm too cheap to pay for a domain name / setting up a server, though it is a goal once some other life things straightened out for me.
Hey man, if you or your instance wants to take a dive into the deep end, I don't mean to stop any of you. I would just prefer the parts of the Fediverse I deal with to be clean of pigs shitting on their balls and the people who spread it.
