Somehow, I feel like the federated network is still centralized, because there is still censorship; it's just distributed across more servers.

I mean, it definitely gives users more rights to free speech, and I'm not worried about privacy issues. However, the removal of content and the banning of accounts are things that are diminishing my passion for sharing my thoughts publicly(on reddit).

I just dont want this happened on here but I am seeing some...

On this part of the Fediverse, things definitely lean a bit more left/center, in general, so that's something you may want to keep in mind with the communities you're interacting with. I've seen a few communities that lean a bit more to the right, but they're definitely more moderate, I've found. There's other parts of the Fediverse, though, that lean even further to the right. There's also a few that go waaaay further left than here. There's plenty of options.

But something else to consider, is that some of those instances are defederated this part of the overall network, so you may see that there's a sort of self-imposed firewall between some of these communities. But wherever you go, every instance is privately-operated, so you'll be beholden to somebody else's rules. The workaround for this is that you can host your own instance and do whatever you want. But, it's up to each individual community whether or not they want to allow your content on their platform, as much as it is you with yours.

I've not looked into your post history, so I don't know which way you lean. Maybe I agree with your opinions. Maybe I absolutely despise your hot takes. Either way, I hope you find an appropriate place to share them. Best of luck!
