How can the devs know what to change if someone is just shouting? This is why threads like that are usually mocked by other posters: "Just quit if you don't like it." Which is exactly what happened in that thread. Censorship would be them locking down any criticism, which they have not done .
I am not sure how many times I need to write the same sentence. The development team cares if you quit the game. "No one cares" is incorrect. Beyond that, they specifically ask for you to provide the feedback on the forum when you unsub.

The devs knowing that people don't like something is information in and of itself. Of course more information is better, but just the same, less information is worse.

It's clearly censorship, just because they don't censor everything doesn't mean this case isn't censorship. It's a precise example of the exact definition of the word.
