Crazyslinkz@lemmy.world 1 day agoTo elaborate, the ability to call someone out is literally “free speech”. The backlash you may get for said call out, in speech form, is also part of free speech.
If the government locks you up for what you said, that is not free speech.

Arguably it’s also not free speech if a community allows targeted harassment campaigns but that certainly doesn’t apply to random single comments and moderators exist to hopefully prevent or minimize that.

If you say something that the community doesn’t like and they say “hey we don’t like this” on mass. That is still free speech. They didn’t say you can’t say it. They just disagree. I feel like your argument is incorrect.
You can go take your free thought to another community where it would be welcomed. The platform or community isn’t required to agree on mass or take bs without responding in kind.
How is the ability to say your thoughts impairing your speech?
