• No server operator needs to federate with you.
  • No server operator needs to tolerate things they don’t want on their instance.
  • No user of an instance needs to personally curate their own extensive never ending blocklist of users and channels they don’t want to see.

Quit your pseudo-intellectual whining and choose what instance(s) work for you. If you think regularly interacting with shit content somehow helps you stay out of an echo chamber then go ahead and make a second account on those garbage instances full of hateful people. Then you can read both the decent servers and the trash ones and be the fedora wearing ackshually right fair and balanced uber nerd you always wanted to be.

Edit: The huge number of upvotes on this post compared to the low numbers on the whiney imposers’ posts is proof of exactly where this community places its priorities.

    Sure, freedom of speech can be pursued anywhere, to varying degrees of risk.

    Canada or Norway? Sure, you’ll probably be fine!

    Russia or China? Depends on what you are expressing.

      Lol you genuinely believe Canada has anything resembling free speech? Because I got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you

        Canada scores higher than the US in most freedom of speech indexes/rankings.

        I have a feeling you’ve bought bridges before, haven’t you.

          I’ve seen those indexes and they’re absolute bullshit.

            Welp, since you seem believe that USA is #1 in free speech, bullshit seems to sort of be your thing, no?

              Certainly miles better than Canada, and if you don’t see it, I see no reason in further conversing with you since you don’t live in reality.

                Lmao alright gotcha you’re just not arguing in good faith then.

                You’re just stating an opinion and presenting it as an inarguable fact lol

                  Your opinion does not become inarguable fact just because you found some propaganda slop that agrees.

                    It sure is better than “It is because I said so, and I’ll stop talking to you because you don’t agree”. Lmao

                    Go on then, what rights do you have that I don’t?
