Somehow, I feel like the federated network is still centralized, because there is still censorship; it’s just distributed across more servers.
I mean, it definitely gives users more rights to free speech, and I’m not worried about privacy issues. However, the removal of content and the banning of accounts are things that are diminishing my passion for sharing my thoughts publicly(on reddit).
I just dont want this happened on here but I am seeing some…
If you start your own server, you moderate yourself.
Whether others want to federate with your server is up to them.
You can absolutely have free speech, but nobody is forced to actually listen to you.
Which is good, because in the real world, every place that has “zero censorship” rapidly devolves into a Nazi invested shithole.
Ya, I agree with you that no one is forced to actually listen to me, but removing content… I mean, I was spending a lot of time writing those and looking for replies, but they just remove it before anyone sees it… That sucks.
What did you post that got removed?
But other people who are on my server might think the same way as I mentioned
You should have spent time reading the rules of your server before spending time with writing your content. It doesn’t matter if others care or not. Someone has a wall and is letting you write on it. It’s their wall, not yours. They can make their own rules. You are free to have your own wall.
You don’t need to allow other people on your server.
