That doesn’t really work when the overwhelming majority of the users are on bsky.social anyway. Like sure I have my own PDS so technically my data is mine, but if they decide to turn off ATproto it barely will have any effect at all for most Bluesky users.

I think the whole point of free speech is… you can just make a website and publish whatever you want on it.

I wouldn’t be surprised they do, but at the same time if they do that it’s a major red flag.

I literally won a “silent but deadly” award at a company retreat of which the premise is, I’m a very quiet person but when I do speak up you better pay attention because it’s important. I hate talking so when I talk I’m not talking about my weekend, I’m talking about why we can’t do that because systems Y and Z will blow up.

You’re looking for the Nazi Bar

I tried it myself with my IRC server. No rules, you can say whatever you want to say, unless the majority wants you out then you get kicked out, just to sprinkle some absolute democracy too.

The end result was basically no messages that didn’t contain at least one of faggot, nigger, retard, or at least a very offensive joke of some kind. Like sure free speech is cool, but it was getting very uncomfortable, nobody was interested in joining anymore because of it, and people were also leaving because it’s just plain unpleasant. Naturally the majority remained the problem until I had to put my foot down and shut down the server because I just don’t want to be hosting that shit anymore.

You can have free speech without being an asshole and shouting it everywhere possible. That is enforced via rules and moderation. It’s a balancing act.

The same as already happens on lemmy.ml 😂
