@ajroach42 thanks for replying to a new arrival marveling at the Mastodon. if I’m understanding it right: the lack of centralization here provides a check-and-balance against a Elon Event or other abusive incarnations of “free-speech-absolutism” (free speech despotism?) which as such makes it “free-speech-actually” because that ultimate protects human rights for participants in a way Twtter never could. |
@javavoretext I don't understand what you mean.
The fediverse is a network of people who choose to talk to one another.
There is very rarely anything approaching free-speech absolutism here, because free speech absolutism tends to imply free access to audience, or to exclude speech like "I'd rather not hear this"
Maybe I'm misunderstanding your point, you didn't use very many words.
