Looking for a Lemmy instance with the following :

  • free speech friendly
  • federated with all instances except csam
  • allows bot majority communities

Edit: I would define free speech as speech that doesn’t make an actionable call for violence. If some one the extremist instances have defederated then that’s fine.

    Instance admins have to take on the responsibility and liability of running a website, I don’t think most would also want to leave it unmoderated as well. For the most part if you aren’t on beehaw, hexbear, or ml/grad. Most instances are fairly “free speech” according to your definition. I don’t think I’ve ever had a comment removed.

    If you still don’t think that lemm.ee or .world is “free speech” enough for you, you are free to host your own unmoderated instance. Don’t expect anyone to federate with you though if your free speech is hateful or inflammatory though.

    So, I gather what you’re encountering is communities that are tossing out posts and comments that do not break any laws, on the basis that they find them distasteful. And you’re looking for an instance where communities will not do this, but that is also federated with all of the instances hosting the communities that are doing this.

    But to what end? If you are still trying to interface with those communities, the posts will still be removed. Being on a “free speech instance” doesn’t insulate you from the rules of the communities you are engaging with. There’s only an issue if you’re finding yourself under pressure to change your own behaviour under threat of the admins banning you from the site.

    You’re looking for a space where you will feel welcome, but where one of the key defining elements is making it easy to ignore that local space.

    I’m not sure you’re presenting a coherent desire here.

    You are not going to find “free speech” instances federated with everyone, because what you are looking for is an instance allowing bigotry and racism, things that most of lemmy don’t like.

    allows bot majority communities

    Fucking why?

    Also: Changing the definition of “free speech” doesn’t change how people will react to what you have to say. “Free speech” doesn’t mean “free to say things that piss people off without being kicked out of the group/location or beaten up.”

    I swear I have seen this “free speech instance” nonsense at least 3 or 4 times before this in the last month. All with similar combination of words. This is probably a same troll.

    It’s pretty basic to understand why what you’re looking for doesn’t exist. Every instance that has rules for it’s own users will defederate from an instance that prides itself on breaking those rules. So you’re not going to find an instance that allows you to break the rules that most of the community agrees with while also being federated with everybody. You’d essentially have to create an entire alternate network.

        “Free speech is I get to say whatever I want, and you have to sit there and listen to me!!”

        That’s not free speech, that’s a hostage situation.

        No, that xkcd is relevant because that’s exactly what free speech means. Your government won’t arrest you for saying stuff, but for the same reason you are free to speak, we are free to act within law against you.

        And there is no law forbiding people from boycotting or unhosting or simply not listening to what you say.

        You are free to speak, we are free to listen.

    You’ll call some things free speech and others not. No instance is going to allow everything. You’d need to create your own instance so it aligns with your views. Then the other instances will decide whether they want your content or whether to defederate.

      For example, I hope you wouldn’t consider planning how to exterminate Jews allowable free speech. There will always be limits on free speech, the question is where your limits are.

    There is no such thing as ‘free speech friendly’. Free speech is not absolute, and is defined / restricted differently across countries. So different instances will have to comply with their different local laws.

    Also: an instance allowing comments doesn’t mean there won’t be consequences. For example: you can criticise the Thai royal family all you want on a US based instance, but don’t ever show your face in Thailand after doing that if you value your freedom.

    The instance you are imagining will inevitably be inundated with the output of spambots. You don’t want a completely unmoderated instance because it will just not be an enjoyable place (even for you! even for people who have no problem with getting exposed to “hate speech”!) to hang out on.

    I think lemm.ee defederates from very little, that is the closest I know of, but I see that that’s already where you are, so I can’t help you much more than that.

    Freedom of speech means you can say what you want (within reason) and the government can’t stop you. It doesn’t mean that anyone has to listen.

    If you want to engage in what is largely regarded as hate speech, see where trump and musk post, they’re pretty good at hating.
