You can have multiple accounts across multiple instances. Just don’t reuse passwords because rogue admins can set up their web interface to just give them plaintext passwords (and possibly also do that through other clients, depending on how the protocol handles passwords).

Not a flaw, you’re literally describing a feature of federation. A shitty feature imo, but the site was designed for that

If we were talking about defederating from instances that promote pedophilia, would you still consider it a shitty feature?
Federation, or defederation, is kind of the core of a federated platform. Having different instances with different rules would make moderation impossible if defederation did not exist, maybe not in most cases but at the very least when it comes to fringe groups having their own instances.
