Why not let the users choose whether they want to see "hate speech" or "bigotry" by themselves?

You have to be very naive to trust others' own statement of something else being "hate speech" or "bigotry", most of the time they are just referring to something that hurts their worldview and/or political loyalties. I understand if mods ban individuals with a certain behavior if they want to keep politically homogeneous communities, it's totally understandable, but, banning entire instances? Why? Unless you're getting raided or flooded I don't see a reason why.

I think all this open hostility fosters a culture of censorship and isolation harmful for the Fediverse. Users shouldn't let admins censor content. Admins wanna play make believe thinking they are Facebook or Twitter. I personally will delete my user from any instance defederating without a valid reason (security, spam, CP, etc.)
