I've found that self-hosrinf my own instance has been a very good way of keeping the number of bits, spammers and people that like to take things to the extremes at a nice and consistent 0.

Sure, self hosting your own instance isn't for everyone but it's definitely doable and I'm satisfied with my experiences so far.

I like the idea of self hosting; I'm just concerned about being defederated by an admin/mod that's taken things the wrong way.

I'm not a spicy person, but I'm sure I've upset some people, some how. I say that, but I know I've upset at least one person online.

The person stated they do a thing, and me being curious, I asked them a question about it because I wanted to know more. They replied with a really angry message. It sounds preposterous but it really was as benign as that. I've seen the same person respond to others in the same unreasonable manner. It's this type of person that I'm concerned about.

I don't think you need to worry about that too much. It's a very uncommon character trait for constructive people. Alike people who run a successful instance. Most of them are nice. And the very few who aren't, or are very agitated/argumentative will inevitably run into issues with other people as well... So there isn't much to loose.

Yeah I've been very happy here. Despite a reputation as a "tankie instance" I find that we mostly just don't put up with fascists which is sick imo.

Bubble-dwelling can indeed be a kind of sickness.
