Ah…the same old brain dead argument. Right wingers always hide behind “muh free speech” and the like, but fail to mention how their policies actively attempt to strip the rights of others to be free.

In a space that respects free speech, you fundamentally cannot have a party that wishes to restrict free speech for others, as that defeats the point of free speech. Or rather, the concept of “absolute free speech” is utter nonsense on the face of it, as there will always be restrictions on what is and isn’t okay to talk about in any human group.

One could easily argue that putting these people into their own little cesshole communities is giving them free speech in their own shitty space. And of course, if you don’t like it you are free to leave for their space or simply shut up and play nice with the other kids in the instances you frequent - thats the beauty of the fediverse.
