Author of World can join my Friends+ instance and kick me while I have them blocked

EDIT: This bug report might have been made in error, so it can be closed. I will make a new bug report if this is actually an issue.
I see two issues here. First of all, they should not be able to join a private (Friends+ instance with no mutual friends) instance. And secondly, they should not have moderation powers in a private (instance type is not public and they are not instance creator) instance.
Self moderation should mean that I can block people and not have them join my private instances. Doesn't matter if they are the ones that uploaded the world, and it shouldn't matter if the world is set to private.
Steps to Reproduce
- Player B uploads world as private
- Player B gives world website link to Player A
- Player A blocks and unfriends Players B
- Player A creates a Friends+ instance of the world
- Player B is able to join the Friends+ instance (should not be able to, unless mutual friend is there)
- Player B can kick Player A (they should not have moderation power in a private instance)

The author of a world has various special permissions such as kicking in their own worlds, and this is intended.
However, they do not have the ability to freely join any instance of their world, as they must have the prerequisite requirements. It seems that there was some confusion about this, so to clarify, here are some of the different ways you could join a friends+ instance:
-Being a friend of anyone already in the instance
-Being a friend of the instance owner even if they are not in the instance
-Being given the unlocked shortlink for the instance
-Rejoining the instance that you were already in

This is a fraudulent bug report. While this can happen as stated, the 'steps' never actually occurred as written here (I never provided any link to this user), and this happened with a public instance (which was created in a private world, they blocked me so they could do this). This is covered in this user's second bug report which was created after being reported to VRChat: https://feedback.vrchat.com/bug-reports/p/public-instance-kinda-of-private-world
Additionally, this isn't a bug; it fits more under feature requests. The author of a world has the ability to do as they wish with a world as they are, as mentioned, the author. If they do not want players playing their world, then that's their right. In fact, it's more an issue that authors can't see private instances of their world.

Milo 7807: I was sure that the third instance that you kicked me out of was a Friends+ instance that I made, but there is no way for me to really check that now. It is likely that I made a mistake and this bug report was a mistake.
Do you want to test this? See if we can reproduce it?
You didn't have to provide me the link. We have like 10-20 friends in common, and you make Friends+ instances of your world all the time. I can simply get the link to the world's webpage from the "Social -> Friend Locations" list.
If you don't want people to make instances of your private world, simply change the ID (it isn't public anyway, shouldn't affect anyone) and stop making Friends+ instances of the world when we have friends in common.
I wrote this bug report so that it can be reproduced by others that aren't us two. I know you hate me or whatever, but you aren't the center of the universe, so please keep discussion here civilized and constructive.
I didn't write this bug report super well, and I didn't test it that thoroughly. If this was a mistake on my end and it was indeed a Public instance, then yes this bug report was made in error.
So I'll ask again, do you want to test it with me?
