Shouldn't the hosts of instances have public information/profile available about how they will run their instances and use your information?

As I understand it, instances can be hosted by anybody. So, doesn't it make sense that you should be able to shop around what instance you want to join based on stated beliefs on how the instance and information should be run (de-federation, etc)? Shouldn't there be some kind of public information to keep them held responsible for instance usage and management? Or is there? Do people just blindly trust whoever wants to host a community?

I literally know nothing of hosts of lemmy.world, I'm sure they are nice people, but they could be literally be Nazis and I wouldn't know. I'd rather not contribute to another Reddit situation or something worse.
