RE: Is Hive censorship-resistant?

Nice analogy you've got here! I also made the same point a while ago on Hive's decentralization, that Hive is decentralized only in its foundational codes which offers users the freedom of a decentralized system, but at some point, there will be some level of centralization coming up, like an individual level, community level and even as you've highlighted, on the frontends.

In fact, looking up the meaning of censorship-resistance here is a notable point:

Censorship resistance refers to the idea that no party can prevent anyone from participating in a given platform or network. In blockchain systems, censorship resistance guarantees that all regulations ruling a network are set and followed by users equally, and cannot be changed for personal gains.

So, censorship-resistance doesn't mean a lack of rules, but requires that all members of the blockchain adhere to the set rules. Just as excellently highlighted by you, there is no relationship between votes and censorship. After all, some form of penalties are required to help people maintain best practices.
