The simple solution to the "censorship" problem is to not have a landing page that aggregates the highest voted content: the only content users should see should be from the subreddits they are subscribed to. In this scenario, there is no need for censorship or vote manipulation to reach the front page (because there should be no front page).

Some might say this approach would result in echo chambers, but guess what...echo chambers are going to happen anyway, whether it's restricting your intake of news to certain news networks, restricting internet browsing to only specific websites, or your local/offline real world community gatherings. There is no way to stop echo chambers.
