I want a free speech platform that allows any content from humans or bots, from any political leaning from anarchism to fascism. What’s the most mainstream platform that puts free speech first? I can only think of Rumble. There are some federated instances but they are usually small.
If you are looking for fascism content then twitter.com has you covered.
Tolerance Paradox makes this impossible
There is no mainstream website. You would need to look into something like the
dark web, but I wouldn’t recommend it. If you just want to see what bots contributions look like, check out Moltbook. It’s pretty trash, but also mildly interesting. I wouldn’t really enjoy striking up a conversation with those bots.Lots of people say that want total freedom for anybody to post anything, but it becomes clear almost immediately that it’s completely unsustainable. Spam, CSAM, and other illegal stuff has to be moderated or users leave and the admins get in legal trouble.
What most people mean by “free speech absolutism” is “I want to be able to say stupid, offensive shit without being held accountable.” Even if that’s not your intent here, that’s the prevailing interpretation, so you’re being judged on that.
…without being prosecuted legally for it*
Why do you want fascism to have a voice?
Because he’s a fascist. Obviously.
There’s no such thing. Unrestrained bots make it impossible for human community to sustain itself. Unrestrained hate makes it impossible for a balanced community to be sustained.
What you’re looking for will be a site full of bots talking to each other, with the only human presence being hard core bigots.
You just described Xitter
Yep, but that’s not this idealised place the OP is looking for, where all opinions are to be found. It’s just full of hate and bots, giving a very narrow range of “free” speech
I suggest starting one as an experiment. You control it. See how long you can restrain yourself from wanting to delete something.
I don’t think that that’s really a platform issue per se. I mean, you can spin up an instance here on the Threadiverse and set whatever instance policies you want. Someone else could have an instance with very different policies.
Look at X and the cesspool it has become since moderation stopped.
Doesn’t exist. Free speech is not applicable to private sites and communities which are protected by constitutional laws, not bound by them.
What you’re after is a website that has minimal to no moderation on political discourse. These tend not to exist because of the people they attract and the hot water the site owners can get into by the actions of those people.
Your best bet is 4chan.
Edit: Besides, it’d just be a slew of echo chamber vs echo chamber with few participants having an understanding or knowledge of politics—like, ‘what is free speech?’—beyond a philosophical top-layer, however everyone will see themself as an expert. This is 95% of online users that involve themselves in political topics, including most of Lemmy users.
4chan? I don’t know if it’s still around. I’d guess nobody except a clinically psychotic dude locked up in a basement with nothing just a computer would read a forum like that though.
I know someone who has gotten temp banned from 4chan for their speech repeatedly, so it doesn’t seem to fit what OP is asking for imo.
What you’re looking for is the chat on my bootleg sports streaming websites, and I don’t really recommend that
Didn’t expect such a real answer.
The legit app I pay real money for was non-functional yesterday so I sailed the seas for a stream of Mexico v Ecuador and made the mistake of glancing at the chat as I went to mute the annoying “pop” sound from each new post. Sweet bebe jeebus that was a horrible half second.
If you’re having problems finding a place to say what you have to say, then perhaps you just shouldn’t say it at all
The only site that will allow you to say whatever you want is one you host yourself. But I wouldn’t be surprised if it doesn’t attract the audience you’re looking for.
