Be kinder, this kind of attitude is exactly what is causing deep societal rifts.
If you want to live in a heavily-moderated place and you'll blindly accept while you are fed what the latest ever-changing Truth is (even if it contradicts what came previously, even if it contradicts logic, reason or scientific understanding), then go wild.
I don't agree with parent's takes, but calling them "stupid" is needlessly derisive.
Some people don't like this, that shouldn't be seen as a Bad Thing.
If "they" try to stop him from voicing his opinions, you'd have a point. But "they" only stopped this person from imposing his opinions on people who had chosen instances whose policies involved a certain style of moderation.
The benefit of the fediverse is exactly that any moderation or blocks do not stop your speech - no matter if it's actually abhorrent or just unpopular with the wrong people - it merely lets people opt out of listening to you.
