    I’m not 100% certain that defederation counts as censorship.

    A group recognizing that a different group is harassing and inflammatory towards them and excluding them isn’t really stopping them from talking in the first place, and therefore it’s not censoring them.

    Each individual has the option of picking a side or creating additional accounts so that they can be on both sides if they want.

    The only “censorship” here is a very minor hurdle in between the two groups.
