But again, what tangible benefit does that have for the average user? They don't give a fuck about billionaire ownership, moderation, or where an "instance" or server is located.

You have more control over your front-page content. If you don't want to get a particular feed, you unsubscribe from it.

Well, you should care about it because that's how online communities get ruined. Case in point: Twitter has become a propaganda tool for an apartheid-loving fascist since he bought it.

Why should a user care about the health of an online community? To them it should "just work".

(I'm being purposely facetious here, because the average person really doesn't care about this shit. When Twitter no longer serves its purpose to them they just leave and go to the next place)
