Nah. Disagree and I don't even know why is this highlighted. It really does matter what you choose. Same with Mastodon.
Each instance has an admin who can do whatever they want (eg delete the instance and permaban you) and on top of that each topic has a mod too. Plus your instance can be de-federated by others (what if your instance end up being a far right honeypot?)
The usual reply is that "but but then you can just move to another instance" but this is basically where the federated system fails for average people.
Just like with Mastodon the only way to use a federated system is self hosting a single user instance for your own profile.
