The only way to have complete privacy online is to never go online.
Anything else will always be a compromise.
Don’t want to be banned?
Create your own instance.
Don’t want your posts to disappear?
Create your own instance.
Don’t want email verification?
Create your own instance.
Though if you do, enjoy having the trolls flock to your instance, use it to spam the fuck out of everyone else and be de-federated in short order.

As long as you keep registrations closed you don’t need to deal with trolls flocking to your instance and being defederated.
You’re correct. There needs to be a balance. What if someone starts posting say sleazy creep photos of ladies etc? What then? You can’t leave it there. The poor ladies are being sexually assaulted in a way. That content has to come down, and fast. Self hosting is the way to go. You can then have the freedom, and face the responsibility.
