Then, there’s your answer. Start an instance that is. Mastodon is merely the platform. Individual instances set their own policies. If one doesn’t do what you like, you can create your own and implement whatever policy you like.
And it isn’t hiding in a cave. You can federate your own instance with any other instance you choose that is willing to federate with you. That’s the beauty of decentralization.
