MODERATORS
 

Hello, is there any social media on this planet that does not ban people for things that are completely legal in all of the European legal systems?

Or is the fediverse the best choice because even though if moderators guide public opinion on the mainstream instances, people can still go to a smaller instance for refuge.

I think Discord is pretty lenient on everything. They're an US company though. Also Telegram, that's what all the conspiracy theorists use, I think they don't moderate a lot. That one is founded by Russians, and registered on the British Virgin islands.

I think they both technically fit your requirements, but I wouldn't recommend any of them. You can also use traditional internet forums or the Fediverse. They're all moderated by the people themselves. With varying rules on what you're allowed to post.

I mean if you just want to discuss politics, society and philosophy, without spreading hate and misinformation... You'd be welcome here, we do those kinds of things on Lemmy.

Telegram disallows all sexual content, legal or not.

Really? Are you sure this isn't just a restriction for people who download the app from the Apple store, or who live in islamic countries? The TOS they display to me specifically mention illegal pornographic content. But I've never used it, so I don't really know.

I'm starting to think this guy is not trying to make a community about politics or legal porn.

It might have started with Apple, but basically now they continuously take down public groups that contain sexual content, as soon as they find them. Of course I'm sure it's a losing game of wackamole...
