I'm not savvy enough to understand this stuff. Is ActivityPub a less-censorable protocol? Is there less chance that it could end up a morass of centralized control like Twitter became?

Mastodon, Lemmy and PeerTube use ActivityPub, you can say it's less-censorable as admin of a server/instance decides what is allowed in their place. There exist uncensored Mastodon instances, though they are small I think.

I see. Mastodon is a great concept, but it's pretty interesting to see how it's turned into these siloed fiefdoms of enforced groupthink.
