I’m asking in general but also in terms of privacy. Is it worse that you’re more easily connected to your real identity through owning the domain?

    There are domains you can register privately, if that’s a concern.

    The main advantage is not having an admin block you from talking to certain people by defederating the instance they use.

      But the admin can defederate from your instance? Then you do not see any content anymore from theirs and they don’t see you. But maybe I misunderstood you.

        In someone else’s instance you can be defederated in two ways from an instance you want to interact - the instance you’re in defederates - the other instance defederate the instance you’re in

        In your own instance you can see one option is gone now.
