  what the hell is right speech?

    I can probably translate, given the context

    It’s evil/leftist/PC/woke/liberal/sanitised thoughts, written or spoken, that’s sarcastically called right speech as a way to mock and bemoan the fact that using slurs, punching down, and harassment (particularly towards genuinely marginlised groups) etc, is becoming ever the less tolerated by a majority of humans.

      According to the votes my post constitutes “wrong speech”.

      How would you classify that. Slur? Harassment?

  If this question is “Would you rather everyone be able to talk, or just people who are correct?” Then, uhm, correct according to who?

  I prefer having a range of forums of different functions, from “Only my friends can speak” to “everyone, save for those who use speech to harass or intimidate, can speak” to “only the teacher can speak.” None of those fit neatly into either category here (even teachers are sometimes wrong).

  It depends.

  Should governments regulate what you can or have to say? No (except if you threaten someone, call for physical violence etc.)

  Should individual people have the ability to ban you from their property or web service because of what you say? Yes (I prefer if they don’t but it should still be their right to do so)

  Should businesses? Yes but probably not arbitrarily

  What about spaces that can be seen as public forums? It’s complicated, maybe it should be handled on a case by case basis

    But how about you? Which one do you, personally, prefer?

    • alokir@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      I don’t really understand your question. Like I wrote in my comment, I prefer to handle it depending on context.
