Fedi platforms have a key distinction putting them separate from most other online platforms in that you can literally create your own and have all the rights of a platform admin today, and have access to the very same content as you would having an account on another’s node. In that regard there’s much less room to complain about unilateral actions by the instance owner than there would be for other systems. As the size of an instance grows you run a greater risk any time you take such an action, but so long as it’s consistent with past behavior it shouldn’t be a major problem. Large instances like .world have made some cuts that ruffled a few feathers and then backed them off if people objected, but sometimes direct democracy isn’t particularly viable in what might be a time sensitive situation.
Then if running a docker container isn’t an option search through the multitudes of alternate instances and select one that agrees with your moderation policy. I’m sure there are plenty of ‘freeze-peach’ instances out there, for a while at least the infamous GAB was a part of the fedi, though I think they got pretty universally banished right off the bat.
