If I start one, can I ban and mute people on it?

If you want to start your own Lemmy instance check out the install docs here.
If you want to set up your own community than head to the main page of any instance and poke that Create Community button on the right hand side.

But judging a book by its cover with your username and post history in the 17 hours since your account has been created for you will be better off going with the former method so like minded people have a place to meet that isn't here and can be ignored by defederation.

oh man, good call out on that. These people are always "Take back X", thinking something has been taken from them. They never stop to think maybe it wasn't taken... maybe they were left behind. Like, you aren't taking it back if the majority wanted it.

Agreed, make your own instance OP and then we can all defederate from you.
