About the human rights thing, I had read about it somewhere, but didn’t know what it really was about until now, so thanks for posting that link.
But now that I have read it, I’m like… really, that’s it?
It seems like one user is complaining because their understanding of free speech is not the same as the Lemmy devs. I see nothing there that would even hint that those devs agree with those posts on their instance. And while I firmly disagree with the content of those posts, I wonder what happened here with the “I disapprove of what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it” approach that typically make free speech successful?
I also didn’t know that the Kbin creator started Kbin because of that too (another comment on this post mentions it). I have nothing against Kbin, but it sounds like a pretty frivolous reason to start an entire new software project… That being said, it’s great that it exists, of course, options are good.
