The censorious culture has become more relaxed over the last couple of years but it's still a problem.

I miss the culture of early Internet systems administrators that saw their services as protocols to be integrated. Mastodon admins are too interested in shaping society. Let the messages flow, the users have enough ways to block stuff they don't want.

Too many people started services because they wanted an axe not a network.

Man, exactly. I left Instagram, because they started to block my account, because I had a link to my Mastodon account in my profile. And then, coming to Mastodon, I'm getting exactly the same. But now not for commercial, but purely personal reasons. With this approach it doesn't matter if it's a federated, open-sourced or not. If it's not welcoming, then no reason even getting in there.
