Somehow, I feel like the federated network is still centralized, because there is still censorship; it's just distributed across more servers.

I mean, it definitely gives users more rights to free speech, and I'm not worried about privacy issues. However, the removal of content and the banning of accounts are things that are diminishing my passion for sharing my thoughts publicly(on reddit).

I just dont want this happened on here but I am seeing some...

You can absolutely have free speech, but nobody is forced to actually listen to you.

Which is good, because in the real world, every place that has "zero censorship" rapidly devolves into a Nazi invested shithole.

Ya, I agree with you that no one is forced to actually listen to me, but removing content... I mean, I was spending a lot of time writing those and looking for replies, but they just remove it before anyone sees it... That sucks.

No one is required to host your content, spread your voice, give you a platform. You really need to stop using the term “freedom of speech” here. It means something totally different. Publisher won’t print your book? “Censorship!” This is what you sound like.

They’re afraid of my raw power!

Okay okay, stop being so angry about it man, you know I am talking about 'censorship' when I say 'fos'

They're literally saying it's not censorship. If a publisher doesn't publish your book, is it censorship? No. Folks aren't forced to host your content if they don't want to.

Exactly, thank you. It’s neither an infringement of free speech nor censorship. None of us has any entitlement to amplification here. We participate by the good graces of the mods and admins.

(I think this dude is 14 and still thinking of everything as black and white, and also everything being about him)
