    Free speech is about the government not being able to restrict your speech. Guess what? Lemmy isn’t the government.

      Lemmy is a protocol so there can be instances with free speech even if you don’t like it.

        This makes no sense in reply to my comment. Free speech is about the government, changing Lemmy instances won’t change the fact that Lemmy is not the government. My opinion, views, etc have nothing to do with this. As far as free speech is concerned a community would be free to remove trans positive comments if they so chose.

          I disagree free speech also applies to institutions, social or cultural norms and platforms as Lemmy.

            You disagree that Lemmy is not the government? I’m talking about law here, not opinions.
