Nobody is stopping people from expressing their views, but we're not obligated to view them, or give them a platform to say them.

So you are a racist. Got it.

The first amendment only applies to the government. Instances are free to do whatever they want.

I post this every time someone is looking for "free speech", and it has been completely relevant every single time.

Freedom of speech means you can say what you want (within reason) and the government can't stop you. It doesn't mean that anyone has to listen.

If you want to engage in what is largely regarded as hate speech, see where trump and musk post, they're pretty good at hating.

It's pretty basic to understand why what you're looking for doesn't exist. Every instance that has rules for it's own user will defederate from an instance that prides itself on breaking those rules. So you're not going to find an instance that allows you to break the rules that most of the community agrees with while also being federated with everybody.

Ahh yes free speech was invented by the American government. Someone should come up with a philosophical idea about it shouldn't they.

[muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee]

Ahh yes cos the American government invented free speech. Someone should really come up with a philosophical idea based on it hey?

No, that xkcd is relevant because that's exactly what free speech means. Your government won't arrest you for saying stuff, but for the same reason you are free to speak, we are free to act within law against you.

And there is no law forbiding people from boycotting or unhosting or simply not listening to what you say.

You are free to speak, we are free to listen.

ronald reagan invented free speech liberal thats historic fact

So, I gather what you're encountering is communities that are tossing out posts and comments that do not break any laws, on the basis that they find them distasteful. And you're looking for an instance where communities will not do this, but that is also federated with all of the instances hosting the communities that are doing this.

But to what end? If you are still trying to interface with those communities, the posts will still be removed. Being on a "free speech instance" doesn't insulate you from the rules of the communities you are engaging with. There's only an issue if you're finding yourself under pressure to change your own behaviour under threat of the admins banning you from the site.

You're looking for a space where you will feel welcome, but where one of the key defining elements is making it easy to ignore that local space.

I'm not sure you're presenting a coherent desire here.

[muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee]

I'm looking for an instance to move my community to where the admins will not intefear with how I moderate the speech on my community while still allowing people from other instances to interact.
