Either way you call it, it's someone else deciding for me

No it isn't. You've got the whole Fediverse to choose from. That's the whole fucking point.

If you want every single decision to go your way, run your own instance. Otherwise, quit moaning and find an instance that suits you.

Live in someone's house, then follow their rules. Otherwise buy your own house or find another house.

That's what I associate lemmy instances with. Anyways I'm glad that we are free to choose where we maintain our accounts. Unlike reddit wher we cannot even move in order to change the environment, cause it's all under one management.
