Looking for a free speech Lemmy instance

[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.

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

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/

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.

That was the one. Oh well, I'm outta ideas then. The Fediverse in general is a very trans safe community.

Downvotes are free speech.

For example, I hope you wouldn't consider planning how to exterminate Jews allowable free speech. There will always be limits on free speech, the question is where your limits are.

I don’t like racism, but that doesn’t mean I want to forbid racist people from expressing their views.

[muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee]

Yeah. That's one of he reasons I don't care how many I get.

[db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

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

[absolutelynotavelociraptor@sh.itjust.works]

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.

[roguetrick@lemmy.world]

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?
