How do we protect ourselves from propagandists and censors? Large, small, popular and individual.

Well it depends on the definition of censor.
If you define censor as, “to suppress or delete as objectionable” (Webster) then it fits just fine.
Popular scifi, written to appeal to the majority, for tv and movies, is actually only one special kind of scifi. And the majority isn’t known for its depth or taste.
I’m not saying that there aren’t exceptions, but ya, that’s how it is.
There’s a whole world of written scifi where the point is basically to show you something strange. Ideas so weird that scifi is the only way to convey them.
Here’s some free, online scifi by good authors. Your mind will be blown.

Is science fiction enough for talking about politics?
Yes of course.
But by what method or algorithm does this DECENTRALIZED SOCIAL MEDIA system protect us from propagandists and censors?
What is a method in THAT?
Distributed tagging and voting? The grace of our benevolent moderators? Something else?
I mean, combatting propaganda and censorship is the #1 issue here.
