The point of decentralization is to decentralize. Twitter is a monolithic company who doesn't listen to its users very much and is primarily interested in you as a monetizable set of eyeballs; Mastodon is... whoever feels like running a Mastodon instance for themselves, their friends, and whoever else. If you want to be absolutely uncensored you are free to join one of the several instances that claim they are focused on "free speech". But everyone else who runs a Mastodon instance is free to block those servers from federating with them when it turns out that "free speech" mostly consists of behaving like Cartman from "South Park".
