Where can I find lemmy instances that support freedom of speech?

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!)

[empireoflove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Here at db0 is about as free as you can get...

EXCEPT.

If your definition of "free speech" is "I want to be racist or homophobic", which I suspect this is, go kick rocks loser.

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.

As long as you dont be a dick or be racist you won't be censored.

[prodajvodapavel@aggregatet.org]

That's not true, but I'm not here to debate it.

If you people don't have an answer, feel free to move on to another thread.

[fxomt@lemm.ee]

Again, please answer: What type of things do you think are censored on lemmy?

Stay away from lemmy.ml and you'll mostly be fine.

You can pay to get into communick.news or start your own instance.

Then there is none, at all. You won't find it on the fediverse, the closest thing to what you described is 4chan.

[peregrin5@lemm.ee]

Freedom of speech? No such thing anywhere.

[prodajvodapavel@aggregatet.org]

Thanks, but I'm not interested in paying to get in.

I would like an instance to be as open as possible. Restricting creating new communities to admins doesn't fly.

[prodajvodapavel@aggregatet.org]

Unfortunately, it's seeming more and more like that's the case

I'm still looking, though!

[prodajvodapavel@aggregatet.org]

That's disappointing.

It seems like the decentralized nature of the fediverse would encourage instances that go against the grain to exist.

I'm still holding out that the instances are out there, just being suppressed by those who hate freedom of speech.

[jomiran@lemmy.ml]

Honestly, it sounds like the best idea is to run your own instance. You can do it off of old, trash hardware.

[unmagical@lemmy.ml]

This is the most ironic comment ever.

[prodajvodapavel@aggregatet.org]

I very well may ending up doing this. Thank you.

[peregrin5@lemm.ee]

Freedom of speech never existed. It's an idea that has never been and will never be a reality. This is not to agree or disagree with whatever speech you don't want censored. There is no place/time/environment where you can say whatever you want without some form of consequences from some subset of people.

Freedom of speech is and has always been a fantasy.

[prodajvodapavel@aggregatet.org]

This isn't one of those instances.

[occultist8128@infosec.pub]

actually, there are many servers that are purely free speech but they mostly are defederated.

[prodajvodapavel@aggregatet.org]

I'm not here to argue with you.

If you don't have an answer and just want to debate what is or is not freedom of speech, feel free to move on to another thread.
