Sometimes I think these free speech morons will cry censorship over anything less than guaranteed bandwidth straight into our brains.
They want to show up, use a community someone else has built to carry their message, and if they can’t, it’s “freedom of speech!”
Let’s just put that shit away for good. Non-solution? It’s a non-problem, akshully.

I haven’t said a word about free speech. Chill man, lol.

OP has. Topic is on the table. I’m not specifically saying you. When you said “non-solution,” what is the problem you were referencing?
Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee 7 months ago
I think OP is basically asking how he can be sure that he will not get silenced unjustly or atleast what they consider unjust. Another user suggested making their own instance, to which I pointed out that it’s not going to solve OP’s problem as he can still get banned and have messages removed.

Ah. Well, I still think that’s about as close as OP is going to get. There’s a difference between “being silenced” and another instance defederating from you.
This reminds me of a time my mother came home from the voting place, deflated because one of the election measures had not gone her way. She said she was disappointed in democracy, because she had done her part and voted and it STILL didn’t go her way.
I didn’t think that was a reasonable complaint. Getting your way, guaranteed, is not a reasonable expectation for anyone, pretty much anywhere. By the same token, I don’t think OP has an actual “problem” here so there isn’t going to be a solution.
