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.
Parent comment is on mander.xyz. You are on dbzer0.com. The admins for either instance can prevent your account from interacting with the other.
If you start lemmy.ddash.com, the other admin can still block you, but you are the admin of your own instance. You are the second admin.
I think you’re right.
That does sound like a serious advantage :)
The blocking part seems more rare for individual instances
