Looking for a free speech Lemmy instance

[muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee]

Looking for a Lemmy instance with the following :

• free speech friendly
• federated with all instances except csam
• allows bot majority communities

[blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

For the context: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/37235684

OP, not sure you'll find such a "free speech" instance among the popular ones. Maybe a smaller will accept you.

[absolutelynotavelociraptor@sh.itjust.works]

You are not going to find "free speech" instances federated with everyone, because what you are looking for is an instance allowing bigotry and racism, things that most of lemmy don't like.

[sabrew4k3@lazysoci.al]

What about the one with that privacy community that got vetoed?

[blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Went down. It was [email protected], right?

[johndclay@sh.itjust.works]

You'll call some things free speech and others not. No instance is going to allow everything. You'd need to create your own instance so it aligns with your views. Then the other instances will decide whether they want your content or whether to defederate.

[sam@bikersgo.social]

I'm unsure if there is an instance like that especially as you can't force for something is completely open to anything being said from federating with everyone. You are probably better off creating your own Lemmy server tbh.

[muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee]

I'd be happy with majority federation and free speech like how I defined in my edit.

[astro_ray@piefed.social]

I swear I have seen this "free speech instance" nonsense at least 3 or 4 times before this in the last month. All with similar combination of words. This is probably a same troll.

[sam@bikersgo.social]

What is wrong with the instance you are currently on if I may ask?

The word Free Speech is often used to allow for hate / bigotry towards minorities in current day. So it'll good to know what you are actually looking for.

[muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee]

This is the first time I'm asking. I guess Lemmy is just getting more of the mainstream and I guess that's going more towards free speech. BTW do u enjoy exercising ur free speech to shit on the concept of free speech

[schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de]

The instance you are imagining will inevitably be inundated with the output of spambots. You don't want a completely unmoderated instance because it will just not be an enjoyable place (even for you! even for people who have no problem with getting exposed to "hate speech"!) to hang out on.

I think lemm.ee defederates from very little, that is the closest I know of, but I see that that's already where you are, so I can't help you much more than that.

[fuzzy_feeling@programming.dev]

your concept of free speach is just bullshit, that's all

[blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

From the lemm.ee sidebar "No bigotry"

[muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee]

Don't think bigotry means what ur think it means https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/bigotry

[muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee]

Depends how u define hate/bigotry. Nothing wrong yet, I have a community on db0 but have been told to move cos I agreed with and didn't silence someone saying they beloved trans women have an advantage in sport. Im looking for an instance that let's speech go as long as it isn't calling for violence or hate.

[gigachad@sh.itjust.works]

Your own instance. But don't complain if you get defederated

[sam@bikersgo.social]

Most instances don't allows spread of misinformation especially about minorities such as trans people. You'd be better off creating your own instance if you want to have 100% control over what you see.

For more information about that topic here's an article about it: https://www.gendergp.com/new-report-confirms-trans-athletes-do-not-have-biomedical-advantage-in-elite-sport/

[muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee]

I've already read the paper that article cites. They say after 12months their is no differences between trans women and cis women of equivalent size and height in the same article they say those 2 things give an advantage, u can't have ur cake and eat it. What you are also implying is that u have to undergo 12months or hormone treatment to be trans.

There is no such thing as ‘free speech friendly’. Free speech is not absolute, and is defined / restricted differently across countries. So different instances will have to comply with their different local laws.

Also: an instance allowing comments doesn’t mean there won’t be consequences. For example: you can criticise the Thai royal family all you want on a US based instance, but don’t ever show your face in Thailand after doing that if you value your freedom.
