The same thing was true of Twitter which is why so many are leaving. Unlike Twitter, you can leave a Mastodon server for another one and take your follows and followers with you. If you want assurances that a server owner will never act against your will, you need to take the same action you would to mitigate a landlord acting against your will. Buy your own place. In a decentralized universe you have to start thinking of servers as real estate. Nothing is free but if your goal is to get to share with you what they paid for for free, you take what you can get. Or buy your own server for only yourself, or share with others. This is what the world looks like without tracking and advertizing trying to make everything seem free.
