Censorship doesn't promote discussion, it goes against it. I'm not looking for a community where only hate is allowed, i'm looking for instances that support free speech.

Allowing hate also kills discussion - I don't see particularly many trans users joining in with the "fun" over on exploding heads, for example.

Every single "free speech" website ends up turning into a hateful circlejerky echo chamber where discussion that doesn't align with the agenda is shut down hard.

That's the irony. "Free speech" platforms are some of the most locked-down, censored places.
