  I just don’t think the choice between either censorship or isolation is a good one.

  Freedom of speech should also extend to social media. Of course that does not include pedos or people screaming fire in a theatre or inciting genocide.

    I do not understand your position given the context. What do you want? A big platform that many are supposed to see? That is also, essentially, not moderated? If so, how do you expect that not to turn into a shit echo chamber of one group?

      Of course i do NOT want to see any pedos or other awful content. I was talking about content that follows the rules but is censored despite that.

        The illegal stuff is why I wrote “essentially”, but given that even that is extremely location specific… Well.

        So, how do you keep it from becoming a cesspit like platforms that are already like that?

    and right here you prove you have no clue what this means. you're talking about social media, not the contract between the government and citizens speech.

    reddit, all social media platforms have literally zero to do with 'freedom of speech' because they are not related in any capacity to the government or the governments regulation on speech.

    they are private, non-government entities, which you choose to accept the policies of when you sign up.

    private platform gunna private. dont like it DONT USE THE PLATFORM. go educate yourself.

    if you cant find any community that would have you make one or maybe realize; you are the problem.

    So you do draw a line somewhere. Do you not see that that is what you asked to not be done?

    People make rules and agreements to shape their environment.

    If you don’t like - for example - insults being removed start a parallel fediverse group with like minded people. Those who don’t want to see it won’t join, those who do will.

      The line should strictly be drawn at anti-social behaviour like the examples you gave but free speech that is within the limits of what is reasonable should not be stifled.

      prevent the gore pictures but dont band somebody posting their christian rock band or their satanist book club
