Saying anything online has consiquences because saying anything at all has consiquences.
That said, here there is no CEO or board, there is no centralized server, there isn't only one onramp, there isn't the limitation of only going through walled garden app stores, and there is no way to delete content.
It isn't completely immune from government intrusion or overreach, but it is much harder to kill, harder to censor, and harder to manipulate.
