Ah I see. It seems like you define "free speech platforms" as those that allow you to say whatever you want. I define them as platforms that both allow you to see what you want, and make no effort to hide, derank, or otherwise limit the visibility of speech based on its content. That sort of censorship, I think, is a big problem at other sites like Twitter and YouTube, for example.

Removing the undesirables is by no means the only method of censorship; de-ranking their content has a similar effect.

I do appreciate your more nuanced and detailed explanation about what exactly you'll do with offensive content though.

We are open source that's the main difference. I'm very against shadow banning. Everything needs to be out in the open and multiple instances should compete to keep things flowing in good faith.

The biggest problem with free speech is just getting normy users to help balance things out.

  That is a huge difference, and a huge improvement, we can agree on that for sure

  True...it'd have taken courting normies from the beginning before accepting everyone else, I think

    Normy users don't use alt tech for the most part. Either you are first to a feature or you need to ride ban waves.

    That works too, to be fair
    
    The dream would be to ride banwaves of normies
