That is not freedom unless the instance admin is the only user of the instance.
It is an act of *censorship* to decide for others what they may see.
If it was implemented as a "spam", or "fun" etc lists for individual users or instances, that the user had the freedom to enable or disable, it would be freedom.
>don't like your admin's decisions you have the freedom to pick a better serve
Having to determine that instance admins are rogue (which is quite difficult, as many instances don't publish blocklists) and then having to pick a better instance is merely a mitigation for censorship rather than a freedom.
