Comment on A short response to Masterofballs (cause I'm banned on main)

this is why everyone who likes free speech seems to be for something like blockchain and decentralized solutions even if they are less effecient, they don't want to have to deal with random admins' feelings and I feel like in the older days of the web that banned people like you would double down on insults even just as a joke rather than apologize, because you could, and that's the kind of thing I am used to seeing for better or worse

I think it's cope and dodge.

SOMEONE is going to own the hardware or have jurisdiction over it.

We either have a culture of total free speech or we end up in the shitter.

  to me it's as with politics, I am either ok with anarchy or monarchy, so to speak, as Tolkien expressed
  
  so either I run or join a Christian forum that bans advocacy of degeneracy, so the mods are somewhat responsible for what is allowed to be posted, or we tolerate legal degeneracy and morally consider the burden for posting to be on the poster, which is like a kind of anarchy.
  
  I also like the concept of "freer speech" rather than free speech. Which is to say on here we have "freer" speech that reddit, like can talk about covid issues. even if there are other restrictions on speech, it is still more free.

federation works the same way if more people run instances. It's no different than block-chain solutions in that regard. Actually better because unlike blockchains it ends up actually being decentralized. To prove my point, go over to odyssee which is the only large scale block chain social media platform and start talking shit about the ceo on all the front page videos. You will be banned quick. And because no one else actually runs their block chain or their app no one will be able to see your content. A instance works just like a node in a block chain. Federation is a much better solutions because people actually run their own instances.

Also at no point in the history of the internet would seer not get banned on almost any forum for calling the children of a admin mud bloods, nigger faggot kikes ect ect ect. The dude was talking shit across the whole site. You are looking back at the internet with nostalgia and maybe not realism. You can take a look at old long running forums and see people getting banned. Like kodi forums which have been up since like 2006 ish Of course i'm gonna get pissed off and just say fuck it. Thats what temp bans are for imo. If a mod or admin gets over emotional they can just use temp bans.

Trolling and talking shit is an important and fun experience so I want that behavior here and i'm not apologizing i'm listening to the community and taking action based on what they want.

  Dude I just explained to you how I didn't mean to call your kids mud bloods even if you took it as that... And you saying I called them niggers, faggots and kikes is just straight up lying.
  
  Like, let's just not get back to this stupid shit.

    I think we can all agree that race-mixing is not a sign of health for a civilization. Some are going to be personally offended by that, just like when you say that there is no reason to think the Bible is literal. Free speech means people dealing with this, but also, perhaps try not to push people's buttons as you have been by being ostentatiously abrasive since arriving here?

    fwiw there is a mixed race libertarian archetype that seems to be a thing today. ancap jeff berwick of dollar vigilante is a white guy married to a mexican woman. john mcafee (ancap) was white married to a black girl. a couple posters on here are this as well or were.
