MODERATORS
What censorship?
Can you point us to some disagreements the people in your instance have had with moderators? Do you have any specific links for us to view? If censorship is happening I'd like to know more about it.
I'm an instance owner (it's very small) and the only thing I don't tolerate is hate messages and subversive spam ("www,BuyGoldHere123,Spam,me"). I haven't yet needed to delete anything my users created.
No because there aren't any. There are very few active users on WG and I have no desire for it to ever become very big. I originally created it for myself to experiment with and I don't really promote or advertise the instance itself even though people are welcome to join.
The people who have joined tend to share common interests so things have mostly remained the same as when it was just me. The "walled" part of WG is more or less the application process itself, since it removes easy access for troll and bot accounts.
I've seen some of these spam posts in our communities before but always from outside instances. They are very easy to keep under control and I wouldn't consider that censorship, just garbage removal.
