The blog uses a self-hosted installation of the well-known blogging software [https://wordpress.com/features/ WordPress].  While the WordPress organization controls blogs that are hosted on their own servers, they also release the software behind their blogging system under a [https://www.fsf.org/about/what-is-free-software free software] license, so anyone can install it on their own servers.  The FeministWiki has such a local installation of that software, meaning that the WordPress organization has no control over what's published on the FeministWiki blog.  As such, you don't need to fear censorship.
