Where can I find lemmy instances that support freedom of speech? (aggregatet.org)

Moderation has gotten out of control on the internet, where people abuse their powers to perpetuate narratives they like while censoring ones they don't.

Where can I find lemmy instances that support freedom of speech? It's fine if you don't like it or have issues with it (feel free to move on without a reply!)

This isn't one of those instances where freedom of speech is allowed.

I love how you just reiterated your erroneous point verbatim without clarification.

Be respectful of others.

Not sure what that has to do with this discussion or my comment.

Gonna ignore you now since you don't have an answer to my question.

I have answered your question in a top level comment; your not liking the answer doesn't mean I haven't answered.
That's your right as much as it's my right to answer your question as I see fit or to point out the dichotomy of your actions and words.

It seems you don't actually know what freedom of speech is.

Freedom of speech means the government can't get you in trouble for what you say.

Freedom of speech does not mean what you have to say is valuable, relevant, or required to be protected, platformed, or promoted by private capital or individuals. Lemmy instances by and large are not products of governments used to curtail your right to say what you want--they're private entities who's own freedom of speech and association allow them to make a determination about whether you're an acceptable entity to keep around.

If you think you're an acceptable entity to keep around when no one else does, feel free to start your own instance.
