Ask Lemmy

This question gets-at an underlying problem in the whole world's misconception of expression-rights:

"ABSOLUTE & ARBITRARY FREE Speech" vs VALID Speech having Rights & Protection..

Do serial-murderers hold that their serial-murdering is their "Right"?

Obviously they do:

that's why they're committing serial-murdering.

WHEN one frames it as "ARBITRARY FREE Speech Right",

THEN the cutoff is by definition arbitrary, & violation-of-FREE, which the no-context cult holds "justifies" not limiting in any way any expression/action.

Narcissism/machiavellianism, that.

However, that framing always has been, is, & always will be, incorrect.

Do Ebola, Rabies, Cancer, & Parasites have the "Right" to exercise their free-expression within your body??

IF one is a FREE Speech ABSOLUTIST,

THEN one's having, & exercising, of an immune-system, ..

.. is violating the FREE Speech of all pathogens, within one's body:

which is 2-facedness.

EXACTLY as censorship of pathogens within one's body is required for your health, so-to is censorship of pathogens-against-our-country's-health required within our country.

That includes pathogens pushing child-molestation, rape, serial-murder, treason, disinformation, smear-campaigns, prejudice's protection, etc.

Health & disease are mutually-exclusive conditions, and forcing out disease requires both objectivity-in-one's-action AND it requires ruthless integrity in one's enforcing.

VALID Speech MUST have rights.

Whistleblowers, actual-journalism, etc, MUST enforce accountability.

Pathogenicity, however, cannot be permitted to control the process of a country, or that country's viability is corrupted, & its time rightfully short.

Corrupt-entities have no "entitlement" to viability, in this Universe.

As for Reddit vs Lemmy-instances,

Reddit sides with cancer-intent having rights to free-speech, and systematically removes posts & comments which either threaten it with accountability, OR which push accountability that it won't tolerate

( some r/Superstonk posts removed, because they threatened money's special-interest-group with accountability, e.g. ).

Each Lemmy instance has its own rules AND each Lemmy community has its own rules, too.

So, in Lemmy, it's more ad-hoc.

But nobody is trying to discover & hold-to the objectively most-viable standards, because political-conforming is preferred, and that will be either near-fatal for humankind or it will be fatal for humankind, as this "armageddon" century unfolds:

ClimatePunctuation is still accelerating.

The curve of climate-change-speed looks like a Bell curve:

climate-change-speed is small, at the beginning, becomes big, then tones down again, as the planet reaches its equilibrium, century/centuries later.

We're in the climbing/accelerating portion of that curve.

Consensus "Science" has been ignoring that.

It has been ignoring the last 2M years of data identifying that the equilibrium-temperature for our current atmosphere is a MINIMUM of +5C ( and that is ignoring the artificially-boosted methane, too, which puts it between +8C to +9C )

( Evolution of global temperature over the past two million years https://www.nature.com/articles/nature19798

• 280ppm CO2 * 9th-root-of-2^1 == planetary +1C == 302.5ppm CO2
• 280ppm CO2 * 9th-root-of-2^5 == planetary +5C == 411.5ppm CO2
• 280ppm CO2 * 9th-root-of-2^8 == planetary +8C == 518.5ppm CO2
• 280ppm CO2 * 9th-root-of-2^9 == planetary +9C == 560ppm CO2

We're currently in the 417..421ppm range of CO2, alone.

Factoring in the excess 1.3-1.4ppm methane, only, NOT including ANY of the other greenhouse-gasses we're producing, brings it up to 8-9C planetary-heating equilibrium, using methane's 20y CO2 equivalent factor of 82.5x.

526..534.5ppm CO2-equivalent, with the methane, only, factored-in. )

Both arbitrary-free-speech-absolutism AND consensus-conforming-only are delusional/nonviable.

Objectivity is the correct standard for deciding what pathogen-action is, and objectivity isn't found within our feelings, it is found by our squelching our political-motivations & studying actuality, accepting evidence's speech as being more valid than ours.

So, the answer to your question is "culture".

That is why what gets removed is systematically-different in Lemmy than in Reddit.

But the question is a tiny portion of the survival-importance question of will humankind understand the difference between arbitrary-free-expression vs Valid expression, and will humankind understand it in-time for human unconscious to begin committing viable life-committing?

The answer to that question, at this time, looks like ..

"not likely:

too totally different in values".
