The purpose of the Fediverse is not free speech or censorship-resistance. It's more like to have a choice in your social media landscape and to make it more democratic, via users choosing what server to use. If you want a server that doesn't supress free speech, join one like that or make it yourself. If you want a more strictly moderated server, go to one like that or make it yourself.
And yea your choice may not be as popular so maybe there'll be less content, but you'll be in the area you chose and maybe others will follow you over time.
