I think that you are not allowed to speak freely on most platforms. And when i say speak freely i dont mean to have right to offend people, just to have right to normaly tell your opinion.

There's a conversation that could be had about how there are no truly public platforms on the web. Ultimately, everywhere you can speak is owned by someone, and any community you build exists at their mercy. This can exert a lot of pressure on a community's standards and beliefs, and when I started using the internet, abusing this was a major faux pas.

However, that conversation requires a lot of nuance and patience. You are kind of transparently posting this in response to a moderator in another community removing your posts. If you'd like to complain about that, there's actually a community specifically for that.

By the by, free speech complaints have become strongly associated with certain political movements as dog whistles. You might want to look into that and make sure you want to present that image.

Yea you are right about me posting this because another post got removed in another comynity. But not all places on the internet are ovned by someone. For example we here on lemmy are free to make ourovn servers for our comynities so noone ovn us. Thats why i like lemmy. Thats the point of fediverse right? Also lbry is place where you have freedom and you are not ovned by anyone. Its 100 times better than youtube. Thats why i like lbry and think more people should here for it. Because i didnt use it just because i didnt know it exists. And that one day i find out about it, and realise its been there for years. So i think more people would like it if people nkew about it, and second, people that know for lbry often dont understand how lbry works and thats why they dont see its value.
