I’m extremely sensitive to self censorship. I noticed this in myself and have trying to put it into words in a way that is not trying to shit on anyone or cause bad blood. I am just concerned of the effect it might be having on this situation. I dislike the feeling so much that I have been working hard on trying to establish an independent income stream just so I feel like I can speak freely again. These effects are real. It’s not that I don’t appreciate the support, I just dislike this feeling that I need to censor myself more.

Nope! You have the army of plebs behind you! 🫂
Odell and OpenSats say they support freedom of speech. Make them put their money where their mouth is (literally) and feel free to criticize openly. If they pull funding, it proves they are hipocrites, if not, they are likely honest actors. High risk for grantees, but high reward for the community either way.
I feel the same, I've never had an independent income stream, I just speak my mind and accept the consequences if they come. Yes I've been fired a few times and had to restart all over again, but I couldn't really be any different if I tried.
Why do you feel the need to self censor?
