The word "censorship" has lost all meaning
Just like "liberty", "fascism", "freedom", "bigotry", "woke", "liberal", "communist", "nazi", "supremacist", "ethical", "feminism", "gender" and many others.
It's easier to push a political agenda if you empty words of all meaning just to turn them into buzzwords that can mean whatever you want them to be in order to trigger outrage
english teachers giving you marks whenever you mention feminism:
Sorry, don't you like it when I mention the things that you don't agree with? Should I just have mentioned "woke" and "communist" to make you feel better?
that's not what I meant, I was joking about how english teachers seemingly give you free marks when you mention feminism or patriarchy
Oh
Yes, because lot of people try to avoid complains about censorship by naming it other names
Because this is not censorship. You're free to browse any defederated community. You're not censored, they're not censored. All the content is perfectly viewable on the fediverse.
Go join another instance. You can't enter somebody else's house and complain about how they don't want to invite the neighbor over as well. That's not censorship. Go to the neighbors house if you want to hang out with them.
But you've been explained this multiple times, so I'll leave it at this. Ignorance is not bliss.
