Theoretically yes, but the mods can still be corrupt. For example, we could go to your, ML, and be censored for talking about China in any way but positive. Even if it is pointing out the very very real event that happened at Tiananmen Square. Or, that China is not in the slightest bit communist.
Perhaps they will yell at me about genocide in order to get me not to vote so that Trump will win and they will be successful in overthrowing the west?
So, yes…. We ALL need to find an instance with no mods. There may be some rough talk, but at least we would be free.
We can have an open place to talk here too. The problem is who controls what is allowed, and what are their motivations? What we need is an instance that doesn’t allow signups, or community creation. Anyone can participate, but if can’t be defederalized because of bad users, like ML, hexbear, etc.
With no moderation (except spam), a small group of mods cannot control the message.
Can’t have the kind of free speech you’re hoping for, on a public forum, without also welcoming Nazis and child molesters and long rants about Lizard-people.
Are there religious-themed lizard-people enthusiasts? Silly question. Of course there are religious-themed lizard-people enthusiasts, though I am blissfully unaware of them (a fine state to be).
But I was thinking of my favorite wingnut conspiracy theorist and godfather of QAnon, David Icke, who thinks (or thought? certainly I hope he’s dead by now) lizard-people rule the earth. For Icke, it’s political, though, more than religious.
There are no limits to human stupidity. (But that’s what the reptiles want me to say, and I must follow their orders.)
I have listed some general descriptions of things that I am doing that I have seen to make a positive impact on others, my community and myself that I feel could be accessible to others in another comment elsewhere on this post. I also am making a mostly open offer of support to anyone trying to make a difference in the form of resources, time, energy, listening, etc when I am able to offer it, with the conditions lined out in the post (be acting in good faith mostly)
We all have suggestions, but we get banned for saying them. So, instead of trying to get people banned, maybe suggest your own solutions.
Maybe we need to start moving to instances where we won’t be banned for saying that stuff.
Isn’t the fediverse supposed to be resistant to censorship?
You’re welcome to run your own, if you’re willing to handle the FBI or equivalent agency knocking on your door when one of your users makes a threat.

That’s called 4chan. You want 4chan.

So, religious people. Hmm.

And I’m saying that would just be a 4chan clone and that’s bad for a list of reasons I shouldn’t even need to rehash
