Server indexes of places for newcomers to join can be instrumental for Fediverse adoption. However, sudden rule changes can leave some admins feeling pressure to change policies in order to remain listed.

I think this is true, but the fediverse (as an entity) needs to prevent too much power accumulating at one point.
