Behold, federation in motion
Federation does not by definition require giving admins the ability to censor content. The Fediverse implementation unfortunately does, but it sure didn't need to.
That has nothing to do with the point. The admins are entitled to block whatever they like. If you dislike it, federation lets you chance instances so you can follow different rules you agree with. There's a ton of instances that are just as good and allow this stuff, so stop being centralized!
