This looks more like another instagram clone rather than Facebook. Building a following of strangers rather than a network of people you actually know.

I’ve yet to see a proper alternative (fediverse or not) to the way Facebook originally helped to keep connected to friends and family. To plan events. To keep your posts only visible to your friends. That’s the part that is hard to give up.

(Yes, I know friendica is supposed to be the fediverse answer to that. But it’s really not accomplished that yet. It’s just a skin over mastodon.)

Good riddance anime.

I highly doubt that group was self censoring. It’s just inconsistent censorship by politico. “Rape” is not a commonly censored word, like the slurs are. I would have no expectation to see the word “rape” censored, it would be like censoring the word “murder.”
