Moderation has gotten out of control on the internet, where people abuse their powers to perpetuate narratives they like while censoring ones they don’t.
Where can I find lemmy instances that support freedom of speech? It’s fine if you don’t like it or have issues with it (feel free to move on without a reply!)
Update: Thanks to the recommendation of @[email protected], I checked the blocked instances of lemmy.world and found https://welppp.com/
I just came across it, so it may not actually support freedom of speech, but it looks promising.
If anyone has alternatives, still feel free to share them 🙂
I’m interested in servers where other people are allowed to express their views, bigoted as they may be.
If you don’t have an answer, you could always move on to another thread instead of insulting me. Reported.
Ow his free speech is hurting me! Authorities!
This is the most ironic comment ever.
Fucking
bestworst of Lemmy shit right thereThis isn’t one of those instances.
Sure it is.
And even if it weren’t that doesn’t make your comment about you getting butt hurt from someone telling you to be better for seeking out where you can be a bigot any less ironic.
This isn’t one of those instances where freedom of speech is allowed.
Gonna ignore you now since you don’t have an answer to my question.
I love how you just reiterated your erroneous point verbatim without clarification.
Not sure what that has to do with this discussion or my comment.
It seems you don’t actually know what freedom of speech is.
Freedom of speech means the government can’t get you in trouble for what you say.
Freedom of speech does not mean what you have to say is valuable, relevant, or required to be protected, platformed, or promoted by private capital or individuals. Lemmy instances by and large are not products of governments used to curtail your right to say what you want–they’re private entities who’s own freedom of speech and association allow them to make a determination about whether you’re an acceptable entity to keep around.
If you think you’re an acceptable entity to keep around when no one else does, feel free to start your own instance.
So you’re literally just window shopping for somewhere you don’t have to treat people with respect and decency. No wonder you’re being identified as a chud.
No tolerance for the intolerant.
Reported? That’s cute! You sound like an outstanding citizen!
I guess we just have “Jim Crow” rules where mods pick and choose who to enforce them for 🤷
Another reason why I want an instance that doesn’t leave it up to the ‘whims’ of whoever is moderating to decide what gets to stay.
You end up with places like this that blatantly allow personal insults as long as you’re insulting the “correct” people.
I respect you. I hope you can pass it forward and at least try to respect others.
Thank you. I was referring to the user I reported.
He’s clearly breaking a rule, but I suspect the mods won’t care because he’s on “their side.”
I’m not sure what language you seek to use, but generally speaking, people don’t like to be called offensive terms.
I mean, if I want to identify as a [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] pregnant penguin, that’s my business. But it helps everyone’s morale to try to avoid bad words and offensive language.
