Requires pretty big buy in. Having to run your own instance is a big ask for most people and since whole idea of Mastodon revolves around the operator censoring discourse on their instance you pretty much have to run your own instance unless you want some random Joe deciding what you see and can post about. Idea here is good, but I cringe at the main selling point being able to censor topics you don't like.
