Isn't that similar with Mastodon? Someone on an instance that does not federate with yours will not see your posts, and I guess someone on an instance that would censor you would not see your posts?
That someone would have to change instance if they disagree with the moderation, and doing so is more painful with ActivityPub than with ATProto, right?
Disclaimer: I have no skin in this game, I don't use social networks. Just interested technically :-).

Other people use many different mastodon servers but all bluesky users use bluesky
It’s not more painful because there’s plenty of alternatives for activitypub instances, but only one bluesky. And you’re meant to either host your own instance, or pick one that aligns with your views and interests, such that the bulk of moderation is handled for you in terms of which instances you federate with etc.
