Isn’t one of the chief selling points of the Fediverse that you can’t be censored because there’s always some instance that will welcome you? Another USP is that the rest of us don’t have to read it if we don’t want to.
You get freedom of speech and we get freedom from that speech (assuming it’s objectionable, and I have yet to see one of these posts where some complains about being stopped from posting funny cat memes).

Indeed - we need better moderating tools asap. I believe there’s a Lemmy fork working on that.
The developers of lemmy are more useless than a chocolate teapot
Oh yes, mod tools for lemmy are hot garbage

Yeah! I will host my own instance with blackjack and hookers!
