Wow that is an absolute dealbreaker for this instance. Blanket censorship is just a big no no. So long and thanks for all the fish, off to find a new instance to call home!

Care to elaborate? As a book reader I thought it was a really faithful adaptation, about as good as it gets.

Keep in mind new Macbooks have proprietary silicon so you can’t easily install Linux on it yet. There’s a group working on Asahi Linux to bring Linux to Apple silicon, but they have to reverse engineering Apple’s whole architecture to get there. There’s a functional alpha after 3 years of work, but functionality still isn’t there (no brightness control, bluetooth, etc).

Same issue here started just this morning, I ended up making an account on lemmy.ml specifically becuase of this issue.
