I understand that you feel censored, but I think it is indeed better called “manufactured consensus”.
An automated moderation mechanism that doesn’t look at content (as indeed it doesn’t) but only at agreeability is not exactly censoring but a different problem.
I not only feel censored, I am censored in the sense that my ability to speak is being taken away. The causality seems to be people downvoting --> negative karma --> algo prevents posting, but that’s still censorship

OK. In a wider sense of censorship I agree. You can’t speak.
