That’s just not the case when you argue against Marxist Leninism on tankie instances, express any nuance regarding trans people (I say this as a trans person) on blåhaj.zone, or mention other highly charged and divisive subjects. And yes, some people self censor, but only because if they don’t they’ll get properly censored or banned, and have to create a new account.
In advertisement based platforms that makes sense as they need conversations to be in line with what advertisers want to sell on.
But unless you are being a colossal knob or a mod is a colossal knob then the only censorship is self censorship on fedi platforms.

Yep this. Not to mention that any instance that allows free discussion of these topics gets defederated and called Nazi fascists.
