Somehow, I feel like the federated network is still centralized, because there is still censorship; it's just distributed across more servers.
I mean, it definitely gives users more rights to free speech, and I'm not worried about privacy issues. However, the removal of content and the banning of accounts are things that are diminishing my passion for sharing my thoughts publicly(on reddit).
I just dont want this happened on here but I am seeing some...
If you start your own server, you moderate yourself.
Whether others want to federate with your server is up to them.
But other people who are on my server might think the same way as I mentioned
You don't need to allow other people on your server.
