    Or something like that :)

    True, but if that's in the code the network uses, someone would surely notice that. If you're thinking of a local kill file, people certainly
    have the right to self-censor.

    They are not hiding they are doing it, they are quite open about it. Again they are open enough that they brough the subject up at places such as F-Droid.

    Am i right, that each server can have its own set of rules and that you could be canceled by your server admin if they think you promote what they understand as hatespeech etc?

    Yes, each server has its own set of rules, much like a BBS. So it's a good idea to try to find one that seems like a good fit for you.

    I have two accounts -- I post my retrocomputing stuff from kirkman@digipres.club, which is a digital preservation server; and more general or work stuff from kirkman@mastodon.social.

    Not just a matter of finding rules you prefer - but finding a local
    community with common interests is another benefit of federated social
    networks. I'm on Tilde.club, a node that caters to people from a
    handful of tildes. I've been able to find people to follow locally that
    I don't think I'd find otherwise.
