I get your point but society decided it would rather have private interests managing social media so 🤷

Decentralization is one solution though.

Ok buddy, keep on trolling 👍

And you’ll still be free to create your own community, you can even create it on your own instance if you want. It’s not perfect, but there’s ways to work around issues like that on Lemmy.

I mean… You’re on a form of social media and you’re complaining about pro Palestine censorship, seems like you have the solution right in your face.

You’re free to start your own social media where you’ll allow it, that’s how free speech works, as long as the place where you’re sharing your message is owned by private interests, the owner can censor you all they want.

Shitter can censor you all they want, they have zero obligation to allow you to say whatever you want as it’s a privately owned website. You can run your own website and say what you want on it though, just like you can put whatever message you want on your car or on your front lawn and people are free to read it or ignore it.

That’s exactly how it works though. You can say whatever you want on the sidewalk, once you enter a store it’s the store owner that decides if they allow you to say what you want to say.

You can say what you want on your own website, if you say it on someone else’s website they can censor you all they want.

You have freedom of speech where the government can give it to you, stop expecting freedom of speech on platforms owned by private interests, that’s not how freedom of speech works.

Well the next 4 years are part of forever

And yet, no non-Chinese alternative… Isn’t capitalism supposed to be good at filing voids left open? 🤔
