this is not censorship though. It’s moderation.

Okay well lmk when you find internet censorship void of moderation

It’s just saying hey don’t use these particular slurs...They are just saying don’t use the words or if you do need or want to use them put an asterisk or something.

There's nothing wrong with that, on an instance level, but there needs to be an option where people can say whatever they want, so long as it's legal.

I'm envisioning this new FOSS social media frontier that is the Fediverse more as a platform for all, and less of a fanclub centered around specific ideologies.

If you want the ability to say slurs then go find another project. There's plenty to choose from. Want the to federate? Well unfortunately sites that go by the rules you like always get immediately unfederated by everyone because they have garbage communities that nobody wants to have interacting with them. (see: gab) The idea of unequivocal free speech on the internet may sound like a good idea to some people. but in the end it always leads to the same kind of community.

Gab failed because they intentionally catered to the alt right and the CEO is a raging low IQ blowhard who hates people he disagrees with while pretending to be a Christian. (Sorry, I have massive gripes against the guy and can't stand the fact that people trust him lol)

I think I have, I mean the whole point of this post was to talk about Lemmy.

Give me an example of a site with absolute free speech that isn't a cesspool of hate and conspiracies then.
