    Yeah of course, I’m not talking about “free speech absolution!” or any other Elon Musk bullshit, just freedom from the disingenuous nannying of corporations and the need to be “advertiser friendly.”

    I, of course, understand the point and merits of instanced federation, but I think it’s still okay to speak in wide generalities when more specific language isn’t needed.

    My point isn’t that instances shouldn’t be allowed to censor however they see fit, of course they should, my point is that the “default” censorship of much of the internet has nothing to do with merit or conduct or even morality and is instead almost entirely catering to advertisers so we shouldn’t embrace said “default” censorship.
