Freedom of speech does not mean that everyone gets to speak and be heard on any subject they desire to whoever they want. It also does not mean that everyone, or anyone, wants to hear it. Individuals are free to censor you as much as they want.
Interaction is a community effort with a social contract that everyone tries to behave within the bounds of the community rules. If you break those rules, even if for a good reason, it is not unreasonable for the community to object.

Your reply sounds like you disagree with me about something but I have no idea what.

You pointed out that self hosting doesn’t prevent bans, and they were essentially saying that you reek of entitlement when you demanded to be heard on platforms where you aren’t wanted.

No. I just felt like you did not understand how free speech and censorship worked.
Creating an instance so you have a platform to speak from is always an option, but other instances having the ability to block that instance is not a sign of it being broken. It means the system works as intended.

I haven’t said a word about free speech.
