Disagree.
What is done with those reports could be considered censorship though. Which I would argue is good.
Also, it’s presumptive that people “fled censorship”. 
 You said disagree but in the first sentence you stated “could be considered censorship”. So agree or disagree? 
 I disagree that reporting it is censoring. Notes are not always censored upon reporting. Relay operators (or apps depending on if they collect the report in-app) are the censors.

My apologies if i was unclear. I only meant that simply a report doesnt automatically censor, but aid in it. 
A relay operator or app can choose to even ignore the report or wait for 1000 reports per note before censoring if they choose to. 
Up to them. 
 I fled censorship, I know that much.

The anti-scientific debacle known as "The Lockdowns" was a two headed beast; one head was called propaganda, and the other head was called  censorship.

Many many many decent, honest and expert opinions that desperately tried to steer the debate on draconian lockdowns into the realm of sense and reason were chewed to pieces by rabid censorship.

It has only gotten worse and more sophisticated since.

There is a digital gulag archipelego forming around us, and the amount of meaningful spaces where you can speak your mind without fear of censorship is evaporating rapidly. 
Each of us flee to higher ground each time the waters of censorship rise, eventually inhabiting our individual desert islands, sad and alone, our shouts reaching nobody.
 
 Okay.

Let me rephrase.

“Also, it’s presumptive that **all people here** “fled censorship”.”

You fled what you believe was censorship. I did not flee censorship. 
 You didn’t pay attention to my note! It says “SOME of you who fled” 
 Ah yep. I was thinking it meant all who advocated for censoring were those who fled but that’s not right. You are correct, my bad. 
 I hear you, that's fair.
