MODERATORS
despite what "free speech" absolutists would like to believe, the vast majority of the world does not wish to tolerate hate, racism, and bigotry. refusing to accept these is not suppression, it's maintaining healthy and welcoming communities.
it's no different than swimming pools having a basic "no shitting in the pool" policy. if you want to shit in the pool, you are going to have to go swim with others that are ok with swimming in shitty water.
with that said, I hear exploding-heads may be what you're looking for
"If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear"
I personally believe that a community that support free speech is going to be healthier on the long run than one that doesn't.
exploding-heads seem to have rules against not being authentic, trolling and slurs
It doesn't mean people have to listen to what you're telling them, and it certainly doesn't mean that if someone doesn't want to hear it you have a duty to say it. Cowards afraid of personal responsibility use this argument.
If any rules at all, particularly ones about no trolling or slurs, bother you than you don't want freedom of speech at all. You want freedom from consequences for your speech. Grow up.
Nobody is forcing you to follow this thread. What I'm looking for is stated in the title: a list of instances that support free speech
Sorry, I thought thought I had the right to tell you what you didn't want to hear.
Go back to Twitter. You obviously don't recognize freedom of speech when it's happening right infront of you.
OP: "I want free speech"
Also OP: "Pls go away with ur free speech"
Uh as you pointed out free speech means you are required to interact with opinions you find offensive.
Are you saying you don’t support free speech, snowflake? If you do you’ll stay in this thread.
