"Dictatorship" is the standard forum design. Reddit, HN, X, Lemmy... All of them. And censorship is common. We literally prefer it that way. I think it's to create a solid blame trail. I think that's a necessary thing.
They also remember the internet not being flooded with disinformation, and then suddenly was and something had to be done about it. That genie won't go back in the bottle. I hear Usenet was good before someone invented spam.
