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 @occultist8128@infosec.pub, 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 🙂

    Please understand that “freedom of speech” does not mean that your speech is more important than the next persons. If you decide to start spewing hateful, racist, bigoted shit, the next person has the right to tell you to fuck off and block you, or ban you if it’s their instance. This isn’t treading on your freedom of expression or suppressing your speech, this is simply the other person exercising their right to not have to hear your shit and choosing instead to show you the door.

    For example, if you invite someone into your home and they start spouting shit, you have the right to show them the door as you don’t have to listen to them go off in your home and around your guests. Similarly if you’re banned for not following the rules of an instance you’re not “being suppressed” you’re just a cunt.

    Want to talk shit from a realm of safety without being called out? Do it from your own home where people don’t have to be around you. Make your own instance, or find a like-minded cesspool willing to put up with you.

        Damn that was a quick reply.

        Don’t particularly care about the point of your thread.

        Simply providing context since you seem to be confused as to why you can’t find a home based on your replies in this thread.
