Meanwhile, I can see this very Mastadon post with no login just fine.

And the interface is not trying to assault me. It loads quick.

...Seems like a better product than Twitter for a public feed.

On Mastodon simply discussing certain topics will get you banned, and instances that don't ban those users get defederated.

I prefer Twitter in the sense that it's more laissez faire in terms of what kinds of speech get you banned.

This is why P2P is superior. Federation nodes can be used to strong-arm collective behavior against the will of individual users.

I don't mind being exposed to liberal and conservative thought. I want to consume almost the entire spectrum of human discourse so that I can synthesize ideas for myself and understand more effectively. As long as the signal is reasonably high.

Reddit and fediverse moderators wield absolute power over their fiefdoms. They're intellectual dictatorships. (Not to mention egotistical behaviors some of them have.)

P2P allows the end user to consume what they want, weight discussions how they want, and participate in any number of emergent clusters. It's the real path forward.

Then just make your own instance?

Or is the complaint that you don’t have the power to force yourself on people who don’t want to read your shit?

You've figured it out entirely. Mastodon is run by the kind of people who are willing to put in a bunch of time, effort, and money into dictating the conversation of others. People who enjoy that kind of power.
