Man, exactly. I left Instagram, because they started to block my account, because I had a link to my Mastodon account in my profile. And then, coming to Mastodon, I'm getting exactly the same. But now not for commercial, but purely personal reasons. With this approach it doesn't matter if it's a federated, open-sourced or not. If it's not welcoming, then no reason even getting in there.
