That is not really true and anyone who actually believes that is in for a rude awakening.

See I think that you're a bit confused because when they say that or things similar to that what they really mean is that no one person controls the fediverse. Not that there are no laws or rules because they're absolutely are.

For example if you go around spouting bigotry you will find yourself banned from a majority of public federated servers, and if you are on a server that you are not the owner of you will likely find yourself banned from that one. The fact that it's decentralized does not mean that it doesn't have rules or is some kind of free speech safe haven.
