…explain it to me like you are speaking to a six-year old…
By starting a Mastodon server you basically supply a space for a group of people who use this service. You can set out local requirements and rules for them, e.g. free speech, ban climate activists,… whatever else you like.

I wouldn’t ban climate activists, only child abusers.

Child abusers should not be banned but jailed.

And what if a climate activist also happened to be a child abuser? And the other way around?

That's by definition from what I understand. Climate change is a Santa Claus for bad children.

There are excellent tutorials on the internet (example) but I guess you get stuck at some point as you follow along because each setup is likely to be specific in some aspects! Has someone here experience in setting up a Mastodon server?  (I don't!)

You'll gain enough experience when you do it.
