I wouldn't call that censorship. No spread of information is being restricted anymore so than what Twitter already restricts. Unless you are connected to your Twitter account already, it cannot be seen. The information can and is readily found elsewhere. Is restricting of linking to a platform (who itself is restrictive in who can see the information) censorship alone, ignoring the content?
No, it's textbook censorship.
Just because it's censoring something you want censored doesn't mean it's not censorship.
It's sad this has to be spelled out for so many of you, but I really don't expect more considering the world you're growing up in.
How is defederating not censorship? The solution is to make your own instance and control your own federated instances, but that's partly unrealistic for everyone to run their own instances. So Fediverse inherently promotes censorship? But the same solution exists with Reddit. It's not an administrator rule, it's a sub rule. If you don't like the rule, you can make a sub and allow the links, the exact same as the solution for federating your chosen interests. It just seems hypocritical to shout "viva la fediverse" when the exact same issue is here, and it's technically one of the built in features.
Also, that's insane the level of personal attacks you're levying because I disagree, but go off my guy. Crazy you're not posting from your own instance, lest something get defederated and censored. But what do I know? The world I am growing up in (as an adult like...2x over) clearly doesn't show it.

Just gonna ignore you now, goodbye.
Don't censor me
Stop censoring him! How is this any different?
I'm not deciding for other people what they get to see.
Sorry this has to be spelled out for you, but I don't expect more at this point.
Nobody is doing that. What are you talking about?
Nobody is deciding what other people get to see, censoring would do that. A boycott is when people decide not to do/... something. Just like you ignoring someones messages.
Hahaha what are you?
