so i’m writing this because i see a lot of comments removed from this community routinely.

i think we need to talk about fundamentals of what it means to be a human. to be human means to have a soul and to believe in people’s wisdom and willingness to learn and find themselves. this can only happen in an environment where people can make mistakes and not shot down when they make one.

this is a fundamental principle of human existence. i’ve seen troubling tendencies in this community that comments get removed routinely by the moderators, mostly for not fitting the moderator’s views. you have to let people talk. they may be wrong but without discussion there is no development. if you whiplash people’s thoughts, you’re only gonna end up with dogs, and that’s not good.

    “Freedom of speech” is how capitalism allowed and allows fascists into power, by using an empty moral which legitimates fascists when capitalists need them to do the dirty job.

    Your points reads like “I want to see capitalist view in a community that sits against capitalism”.

    Maybe state your point instead ?

    I dont have to let you do anything I can plug my ears and ignore you while you talk til your face turns blue. I can block you and never see a word you write ever again. Just the same way you can do to me. Just cuz you have an opinion doesn’t mean anyone has to hear it.

    you have to let people talk

    The whole fediverse is carefully designed to make it so there is no central authority that can in any meaningful way prevent anyone from saying anything they want. We are letting you talk, so do it. Stand up an instance. Create a community. Post your thoughts. But that freedom cuts both ways — you can’t change how the owners of this community want it to be moderated and what they want it to say.
