If there would “hypothetically” be an instance owner(like what even is that, just a guy or group having servers somewhere?) that censores in bad faith, could it do that to the communities on there too? Could they just take out certain communities or delete content on it, affect the responsive moderators, etc?

Like how do I know I’m not on a community dependent on u/spez filtering out everything about insurance for his corpo bros?

I hope my questins make sense

    I bang on about this too often, but I really wish the distributed (as opposed to decentralized) web would take off. Everyone using it also contributing to its storage; no need for funds for hosting, or any “hosts” at all.

    ZeroNet was great for this. Click one button: now you have your own site! No hosting contracts / fees etc. Mirrored for free by visitors.

    But ZeroNet’s been in terminal decline since its developer disappeared.
