I have "nothing to hide" but I STILL like privacy tyvm. Hence I'll shit in public with the stall door closed, and not disclose my wank schedule on Facebook

The fediverse condemns free speech. The fediverse bans unapproved opinions and wrong think, proving that the fediverse is an enemy to the principals of Edward Snowden. But it's fun to be on here one in awhile knowing fhe right thing to say that forces people to come undone and expose their true personality. When you through a rock into a pack of dogs, the one that helps is the one you hit, so it makes for a fun time to say the right thing for setting off everybody and watxh in the insults come in, it means that I hit my mark

The fediverse is a bunch of websites that talk to each other with the same protocol. If you've been banned from one, you can still talk on all the others. If you are banned on your home instance I am pretty sure you can still post on all the others.

Find one single instance where users are free to reject or critcize religion, reject trans people, criticize conservatives, and criticize leftists, all on a single instance.

People just don't want to be around a bigot. Simple as. Social harms that might come to you for espousing views that aren't acceptable to the surrounding community isn't censorship, it's just social rejection on legitimate grounds. Fix your heart or GTFO.

If that were true, speaking with strangers in public places would not contradict fediverse postings. It seems that being outside talking with strangers face to face closers aligns, but not identical, to what's on Twitter than every single fediverse service. If you can't be friends with someone who doesn't accept what you believe but has other interests away from the internet, not being online, that is lack of intellectual curiosity. Someone, I'm not suggesting you, who can't spend an afternoon with people without checking phone for new messages lives in misery 10 out of 10 times.
