Do you agree with what it says about Lemmy further down?

No, because Lemmy is a public forum and it's fundamentally not a platform for privacy. The author is mostly complaining about the nature of how any public forums work in general there. I also don't see a fundamental problem with censorship, the reality is that it's a necessary tool for ensuring any community can function. Every community and every society has some level of censorship because some ideas are accepted to be harmful. For example, censorship of people promoting fascism, paedophilia, racism, sexism and so on is a good and necessary thing. People who advocate for libertarian free market of ideas are not serious.

The rant about voting is also nonsensical since it is configurable by server admins. For example, hexbear disables downvotes, but clearly users actually prefer having a voting system and that's why servers end up enabling it in one form or another.
