    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?

      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.

            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
