  There already has been. But it turns out the ones that value “freedom of speech” and “libertarianism” all end up relatively small and isolated, or turn into Nazi bars.

  The majority of us are fine with letting instances and communities censor what they want. You can always create your own if you don’t like the way others do it, or you can join one of the instances that have been cut off from the rest of the Fediverse.

    Really? Can you give some examples?

        Checking their TOC, it looks like they don’t really value freedom of speech.

  There’s hardly any instances of any kind of size that aren’t ‘heavily censored’ (so to speak)

    I know. People are afraid to make them out of fear of defederation.

    Eventually, we’re going to have to accept that there will be different parts of the fediverse for different people. And that’s okay.

      So there’s clearly not enough of a local audience for it. I know many instances have specific political bias that preclude certain arguments fron being advanced to varying degrees (such as lemmy.ml, slrpnk.net, lemmy.dbzer0 etc) but there are also many general use instances amongst them, that are not defederated that really only ban people for hurling slurs and being abusive.

        The modlogs should give some insight into how much demand there is for instances that won’t censor people.

        The fediverse as a whole is still tiny, so it may seem that getting defederated from the established instances is a death knell, but it isn’t.
