Most people don’t care about decentralization, they just want a place where everyone they disagree with is banned. That’s why the left LOVED twitter pre-musk buyout, and then hated it since. That’s why the right love truth social, cause there are no left people there. Now that reddit doesn’t allow just outright death threats and calls for violence against people they hate, the left who love it are now claiming it’s a “right leaning” platform and looking for other places.
You had me at first, but you lost me here. “reddit doesn’t allow just outright death threats and calls for violence” is not a correct description of what’s going on over there and consequently the rest of that sentence is nonsense, just like the one-dimensional politicizing.
Some of us just want a place with zero bans and where unless you break the law with your speech, zero censorship and moderation.
Sure, “some” certainly want that, but that’s not the point of the fedi/lemmiverse and you know it. You took a very loooong breath to get to this in the end, even making it political along the way. Some people will upvote you only because they didn’t take the time to finish reading.
Also - the law is different in different countries, and the fediverse is global. “Unless you break the law with your speech” really isn’t the point you think it is.

If you want a place with no bans, then start up your own instance. Nobody can ban you. Sure they could defederate from you, but they couldn’t ban you.
If you want a platform that can’t ban anyone AND can’t block anyone, well you could make your own platform but I wouldn’t expect many to join you because nobody wants that.
We have the freedom to say what we want. We don’t have the freedom to force people to hear it though.

The point is that everyone else can still ban you. I’m not sure you even understood my original post if that’s your response.
Here we don’t have the freedom to say why we want, because you’ll be banned instantly for saying many things that aren’t even controversial unless you’re deep inside one political side.

I haven’t had that experience here. I’ve had some unpleasant dustups with some leftists here but beyond having comments removed for being pro capitalist by .ml admins, I haven’t had any issues with moderation. Sure I’ve been heavily downvoted but I’ve never gotten banned.
