It's not about power tripping, it's about philosophy. When I left mainstream social media and decided upon the Fediverse, decentralization was very much at the top of the list. I was happy to be part of a world where one corporation wasn't in control of our lives. I'm just uncomfortable with the way that people are so eager to foster that in world. We shouldn't have to see them misbehave before we apply what we learned from previous mistakes.
You're preaching to the choir, but "for now" it's acceptable to me.
We are always able to move communities to other instances should they misbehave, and that's good enough to me.
Could be improved, of course, but not critical.
