Freedom of speech is by definition freedom from consequence for speech.

“Yeah you can criticize glorious leader, you have free speech. You’ll just spend the rest of your life unemployable and die/in a gulag”

Nobody is implying that a lack of freedom of speech means they put a gag on your face preventing you from speaking. A lack of freedom of speech means harsh consequences for speech.

You are 100% incorrect and are confusing the first amendment of the united states with the concept of freedom of speech.

Why is the government special? Are you implying powerful corporations can’t deprive people of rights or oppress people? That is very incorrect and there is a mountain of evidence for this. Are you implying that communities can’t or haven’t shunned people and ruined their lives for saying reasonable or true things? That is very incorrect and there is a mountain of evidence for this.

If you’re going to make wild claims please substantiate them.

How does person A saying things result in person B being unable to say things or own private property?

Ads, like Reddit does and reddit makes a ton of money. If they weren’t trying to make nft integrations or new TikTok and just had the staff it took to keep the lights on, it would be a stable successful business.

But the greedy execs want more money so they act like they have no choice but to squeeze the users for everything they can. This is their choice, not a necessity.

101 should start with “Take an avalanche course before even touching the Backcountry”

Even after a server is widely used, the default should be all.

That’s the whole point of federation. That’s what everybody is saying. That’s even what join-lemmy promotes; you see it all because of federation.

“Local” should be the most niche rarely used setting ever.

This is not working for me. Does my instance have to federate with another instance for me to subscribe to their communities?

I just want the mods to use their power to steer people to Lemmy

At this point it’s clear reddit isn’t going to budge, stop power tripping by making a fuss on reddit and instead do something actually useful. Keep a Lemmy post pinned while you run the nsfw label circus.

Trying to transitively get the world to defederate from everybody you don’t like is a terrible idea. That will just lead to over moderation and the community becoming bland. Everybody will want somebody else defederated from everybody else which will destroy the interconnectedness of the fediverse. Pushed to it’s extreme, citing the paradox of tolerance leada to Nazi or USSR levels of totalitarianism and fascism against any perceived thought crime.

They are defederated, that’s a reasonable measure to get rid of most of it. Now just ignore it.
