    ITT: “My problem with this platform where nobody is in charge is that it has more extremists than the platform where a for-profit corporation is in charge.”

      Freedom of speech allows for freedom for everybody to speak for better or worse. This is an essential human right and should not be suppressed unless it harms one another.

          But the comment was about the platform, not the instance.

          Though it’s good that you point this out about lemmy.world.

          I do take issue with the label “extremists”. That’s a value judgement, which is a problematic thing.

          Not allowing anything illegal, or clarifying specifically what isn’t allowed, is different than such a label.

          Everyone’s definition of extremist is different. I don’t even use the label because it’s practically meaningless.
