There’s a difference between saying “I think X, and Here’s Why: Proof” and “YOU SHOULD NEVER CONSUME X IT WILL KILL YOU”

Oh I do love a weird internet feel

That’s a lot of logical fallacy from someone who claims to have been teaching philosophy.

Moderating blatant misinformation or bomb-making instructions does not inevitably lead to censoring valid political dissent. There is also a significant functional difference between Abstract Ideas (Socrates’ questioning of virtue) and Instructional Violations (blueprints for violence).

Equating moderating a privately run online space to making someone drink hemlock by the way of a state execution is a hell of a reach.

You are basically claiming some forms of knowledge are too dangerous for people to know.

Nope. Never said that. I said “You might not be persecuted for having these “theoretical” discussions, which is fine…”.

I’m fine with civil discourse, even with some unsavory opinions. Not so fine with people spreading blatant misinformation and propaganda. There needs to be decent moderation for this, which as I understand, Odysee seems to fail at.

As @dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone is pointing out, commitment to (absolute) free speech tends to attract Nazis. And by Nazis I mean, actual, literal Nazis, not just people who don’t agree with me on soylent being a decent meal replacement.

Also, lets never forget that (absolute) free speech would also cover allowing “theoretical” discussion on how to manipulate, groom and kidnap children for certain purposes etc. How to “theoretically” build bombs. How to “theoretically” drug and kill people etc. You might not be persecuted for having these “theoretical” discussions, which is fine but I think it’s healthy for any online space to remove such topics.

Yeah whenever I see “crypto”, I get a slight internal sigh/groan.

Whoever wants to include themselves in the “we” with me.

Bummer. I keep wanting a YT alternative but Peertube isn’t quite there. Odysee at least looked polished but while I believe in civil discourse on any topic, complete lack of moderation isn’t great.

what if people disagree with you about the borders? Would you tell the people on the sentinel islands that they should just let everyone enter? Should everyone be forced to comply with your American hard left ideals? Because that’s the logical conclusion of saying “there SHOULD be no borders”.

Before you try to educate someone else, I suggest you educate yourself first (because this is a really hairy terrain to navigate).

I hope you didn’t just remove things. Poison the pool. Put in absolute nonsense and disinformation.

and then people think we can absolutely trust our perception
