> By your definition, not only #Bitcoin but also all protocols is censorship.
Yes, unironically. If they don't kick out (i.e. censor) those who don't follow the protocol, then they are not a protocol. Protocols imply rules, and rules imply consequences. If you don't follow the protocol's rules, your message is excluded from the people who are listening via those rules.
> A softfork is a consensus. We MUST/CAN have a deep discussion to make a decision. It is not a censorship.
I am glad you did not say "it's never censorship if there's consensus on what to censor." Because sometimes a group attains consensus that it should censor one of its members, and very often that's a bad thing.

I'm not saying majority rules. What I am saying is close to "What is #Bitcoin". For me, #Bitcoin is an invention which is invented by a lot of people. It implies that #Bitcoin has intention/purpose/what should be. We all MUST/CAN contemplate it.
BTW, I often see people treat #Bitcoin as the physical/natural law like gravity or value neutral. So they accept non-financial transactions like ordinals, because they think nobody can counteract the gravity.
However, #Bitcoin is an invention. For me, the public storage or the world computer are what should not be. So, pro-filtering or pro-softfork to make #Bitcoin are not censorship to me.
