I think you're describing and conflating two different things is what I'm pointing out. There are people who want things they see as harmful to remove off platforms they're on. There are also people who don't want to move to a decentralized system. But generally I think the same person who wants to remove bad people and not move to Mastodon are doing it for two different reasons, neither of which has to do with some kind of conspiratoral power that you're describing. One, I think people generally want their personal experience with the centralized platform to be better. It just so happens it's very difficult to do this without removing people they don't like. That's it. I'm pretty sure if there was some magic woo-waa that let people only be engaged with by others who aren't mean at them, it doesn't really matter if mean people exist elsewhere. Two, decentralized platforms are simply less intuitive than centralized ones to use and has nothing to do with content removal. I think you're hyper-focused on censorship in some way that doesn't actually reflect casual users. People generally just want to sign up on a platform and talk with their friends, and Mastodon makes it hard to sign up and talk to your friends.
