Yes, you are beholden to the instance, but it’s the same with Gmail, Outlook, GMX, etc. They can close your account at any time, but they likely won’t.

    Of course it does matter a bit what instance you pick: you want one that is well-federated with other communities that will have content/users you will enjoy engaging with. I’m pretty sure you can visit a list on each instance that shows what instances it is federated with.
