Calls for defederation - Is the idea of the open marketplace of ideas outdated? - sh.itjust.works

Lately I see a lot of calls do have specific instances defederated for a particular subset of reasons: - Don’t like their content - Dont like their political leaning - Dont like their free speech approach - General feeling of being offended - I want a safe space! - This instance if hurting vulnerable people I personally find each and every one of these arguments invalid. Everybody has the right to live in an echo chamber, but mandating it for everyone else is something that goes a bit too far. Has humanity really developed into a situation where words and thoughts are more hurtful than sticks and stones? Controversial topic, feel free to discuss!
