Somehow, I feel like the federated network is still centralized, because there is still censorship; it's just distributed across more servers.

Why would this even be a consideration? Why is your default to misbehave? It's attitudes like this that gives rise to moderation and censorship, because you can't self moderate or behave without someone forcing you to.
