Well I wish you luck in finding what you're looking for, but Lemmy/Kbin by definition isn't it.

Any community that isn't 100% fully owned and operated by you, yourself, Mango, is going to run into the risk of a mod 'censoring' or deleting something that you wanna see.
Any and every community. Here, Reddit, Facebook, any social media, any forum public or private. If you yourself don't own and run it in its entirely, that's a problem you cannot avoid.
So I mean this without any real intended offense but: shit or get off the pot. Run your own community that connects to no other system or service run by other people and hope the people you wanna talk to drop by, or tbh get used to it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Edit: Can revenge-downvote me all you want Pepsi but I'm right on this one lol.
I know right? Magical!
You can, it's called hosting your own instance. It's literally one of the points of the Fediverse (i.e. 'Fuck you I don't like how you're running things, I'll go make my own with blackjack and hookers'). If an instance admin does things you don't like, you get to leave, go to a new instance, and follow the same communities you did before via that one instead.
Tons. Still loving Margaret from 2009ish who asked me if 'we own the Google' and wouldn't take 'no'.
Also, fuck apple simps.
Former Applecare rep here: Say it again, Trick!
Honestly the only thing HP has ever made that I haven't been horribly, horribly disappointed with is their monitors. Just through circumstance of 'whatever-the-fuck-was-cheapest-but-not-total-ass-when-I-went-to-buy-them' I've ended up with 4 different HP monitors over the years, including a 20ish year old 4:3 one which still goes strong to this day.
Every other product was pure unadulterated ass.
Magazines can be deleted. There is a Delete Magazine button in the Magazine Panel of any magazine you own (on the General tab, first one).
However at this time it does not appear to be an automatic thing (I believe Ernest has to clear then manually). I've deleted around a dozen so far (which were taken care of within 24h) and have had over a dozen more as well waiting for deletion (which have been sitting there for a month+ as Ernest has been busy as of late, and then the holidays and such).
What you describe is the reason I switched from sync to boost years ago!
Because:
A) New Pipe is a phone app only.
B) People view YouTube on devices other than phones.
C) People view more websites than just YouTube, on which they also want to block ads.
