Looking for a free speech instance (self.fediverse)

I am looking to change my instance since many defederation and censorship decisions on lemmy.world.

Anyone knows of any instance that has a rule against defederation and is more free speech oriented. Of course I am looking for an instance that forbids illegal content like CP. But I want an instance that does not censor hate speech!

The instance should be hopefully federated with mostly everyone, unless defederated because of CP. I was considering lemm.ee, but I saw a comment from an admin saying that they could consider defederation if certain propaganda reaches front page.

Before anyone accuses me of anything, I just want to be exposed to different viewpoints, and I am not offended so easily, so I can tolerate offensive content. What is important is that the rules on defederation dont change in the future.

I didn't misunderstand your question, I ignored answering your question and instead gave advice to a person who would ask such a question.

You will die an unhappy person if you make hating other people a priority in your life.

Let me guess, calling a trans woman male is considered 'hate speech' in your mind?

A) This thread is 8 months old, what the hell are you doing going through stuff this old. Get a life.

B) If you do it intentionally, knowing that they don't want it, you're a bad person. It's not hate speech though based on the legal description in Canada. Just like I can call you a thin-skinned small-dicked asshole and it's not hate speech.

I never mentioned canada or any laws. Do you think it should be considered hate speech?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

I'm a Canadian, so the only hate speech laws that I care about are the ones for my country.

No I do not think intentional misgendering should be considered hate speech (in the legal sense)

I would absolutely fire an employee of mine for doing it though, even if I found out they did it outside of a work context.

Just because something isn't illegal doesn't mean there shouldn't be consequences for it.
