Censorship is a valid moderation tool when used appropriately, I don't understand why people can't understand this. So yes, congratulations, they are promoting censorship, which is a good thing in this case. thankfully someone isn't in the "omg freeze peach" club that is neutral on literally every topic in the entire world no matter how incredibly a bad idea it is.

A lot of people absolutely support censorship in the case of keeping literal garbage and spam out of their feeds, but a vocal minority scream about censorship as if it's always a bad thing and should never be used.

All federated servers also have a defederate function. It was added to ActivityPub for a reason, and that reason isn't to be never used because of some sacred idea that servers have to be 100% open, innocent until proven guilty, when that is a moderation model that has failed time and time again.
