Fascinating dynamic unfolding across Mastodon: instances are dividing into two ideological factions: safe speech, and free speech.
The safe speech instances are likely to start sharing domain-level blocklists (like Adblock but for speech) in the near future, to "curb harassment".
The free speech instances legitimately don't seem to care, and so far, have held much more interesting, substantive and intellectual conversations than the safe speech zones.
What can you expect from me? Free speech.
@wogan It's very weird to hear “allowing harrasment and discrimination” described as “free speech”.
Free speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences, doesn't mean you are entitled to say anything anywhere anywhen, and doesn't mean others are forced to listen to you.
(Also, when the only thing you have to say about your discourse is that it's not illegal for you to have it, well...)
@wogan Oh, I guess I must have misunderstood you then.
What did you have in mind re: “safe speech” vs. “free speech” ?
@kellerfuchs Priorities.
Safe speech = The priority is to make sure everyone feels included, welcome, and safe, and that they can share things about themselves without facing criticism or ridicule.
Free speech = With few limitations, every topic is on the table. Ideas (not people) can and should be interrogated, picked apart, and thoroughly understood, even if the process makes some people feel uncomfortable.
Broadly, that.

There's two that prioritize safe spaces.
social.heldsca.la
unsafe.space
There's two that prioritize free speech.
OH OH OH LET'S BREAK IT DOWN
vulpine.club: Priority is to have a place for furries that doesn't have nazis in it. Bans ideologies they don't like, does not ban or discourage general criticism or ridicule, does ban asshats.
toot.cafe: Priority is to have a webdev-focused social network, bans harassment and ideologies they don't like.
Reality: "no racists"
Your strawman fantasy: "ban anyone who makes anyone feel bad"
