    People in FOSS are still regular people with opinions and biases. The difference is that you can fork the code and remove the restriction yourself, or ask someone else to do it for you.

      Thanks for the suggestion but I was raising the exact point that it becomes difficult to remove beliefs and politics in any forum whether Fediverse or otherwise.

        In the Fediverse it’s both harder and easier to get rid of believes you don’t agree with. You can ban them from your own instance or join one that agrees with you, but not remove them from the network entirely.

        Your freedom to choose is the same as everybody else’s freedom to choose. If you want to get rid of those believes for good then I’m afraid you’ll have to convince people the old fashioned way.
