And I think this unwelcoming behavior is just a kind of soft censorship.
No, censorship is something entirely different. You can't just toss around words to mean things other than what they mean. Words mean existing things and you have to use them for those things.

Technically you are right, steemit is not "censoring" , it is just "unwelcoming" some posters.
May you read posts you answer, hopefully before of answering?
being unwelcoming is one of the way "coward censorship" happens. People says they don't censor, while making others uncomfortable because of what they do/say. Not "censoring": just making the others to be uncomfortable. Nice try, anyhow.
