I agree. At some point we’re going to have to see a split between the heavily censored instances and the ones that let people say what they want.

There already has been. But it turns out the ones that value “freedom of speech” and “libertarianism” all end up relatively small and isolated, or turn into Nazi bars.

The majority of us are fine with letting instances and communities censor what they want. You can always create your own if you don’t like the way others do it, or you can join one of the instances that have been cut off from the rest of the Fediverse.

There already has been.

Really? Can you give some examples?

Checking their TOC, it looks like they don’t really value freedom of speech.

I don’t see a TOC on their frontpage
