It has come to my attention that there are those on Mastodon who think that anyone who doesn't agree with their politics should be cast out of the federation.
Please stand up for Freedom of Speech.
True Freedom of Speech means you will have to deal with the fact that not everyone thinks the same way as you and will therefor come across views that either make you happy or extremly angry.
Communication is the key to making the world a better place and the only way that progress can be made.
If you lock people out becase they don't agree with you, you are only hurting those you claim to care about because those with extreme views will continue to speak, with the only difference being that no one will challenge them.
Arrogance is the biggest threat to our society.
@TheGnuMaster There are many users on Gab that love all people and just want a free, open Internet. Yes, there are others who seek to spread vile, hateful messaging. After about 20 or so "mutes" - my feed is 99% free of these bad actors. It didn't take much effort. I don't need to take anything away from them to make myself more free. That's the point, really. Freedom of speech AND freedom of association. #1A ๐บ๐ธ
