Humans are vulnerable to propaganda. Lemmy's architecture is against censorship. This helps to push back against propaganda, but only so much. But at least not being censored is a big win IMO.

You can certainly be censored on Lemmy, depending on your instance. But you can also easily go to another instance and still talk to everybody you used to talk to on the old instance.

Same thing with propaganda. Your instance can remove it from their hosted communities, or allow it. And you can go to an instance that feels good.

Does this lead to echo chambers? Probably.
