I support censorship on Lemmy.ml and my home instance Lemmygrad. You need censorship to have a chance of having good interactions, otherwise it’ll just be deliberate attacks, shock-content drowning out anything you’d wish to engage with.

But the software isn’t censored. If you don’t like the censorship regime in your particular instance, you can go to a different instance. Almost none will be zero-censorship, but you can find one that is permissive. If you insist on no censorship at all, hosting your own on your home computer is feasible.
