Anyone who thinks you can have both absolutely no restraint on speech and an environment that isn’t a cesspit hasn’t seen what humans do in an environment that has absolutely no restraint on speech. Constructive discourse requires that there be someone to moderate and throw out the trolls, the spammers, and that guy who, wherever he goes, preaches about the effect of weather conditions inside the hollow earth on the lizardmen who select US presidential candidates.
Nostr is absolutely unfiltered and it shows. Not for the feint of heart.
Please define “free speech”. Thx.
Free but accountable speech. Nobody should want a forum without moderation, it would be a toxic mess.
You didn’t define “free speech.”
Ok good answer but I was really asking OP (in terms of that list).
Checks mod logs of any popular instance……
Free speech definitely not permitted.
Not Lemmy. I get moderated quite a lot :)
