An issue I have with fedi is you're really held back from saying anything that would upset a bunch of minors and 18 year olds who you don't remotely share a worldview with

Doesn't matter if it's your own instance on your own profile when people act like the whole network has to follow their moral views
I feel like in some ways this holds me personally back from my own character growth because not every way I want to grow is in line with what fedi wants, which does have me thinking that one day this won't be for me anymore

@eris IDK, you might be on the wrong side of the #Fediblock if that's been your experience. The free speech side *generally* doesn't have this problem.

I do get some criticism when, for example, I criticize #Trump in largely #MAGA-populated spaces and threads, but even then no one can keep me from sharing my opinions because the instance I'm on supports free speech.

@eris If a #Fediverse instance doesn't allow me to post this it's not worth joining, literally

@eris Ofc I don't post hateful content, but the bounds of what is allowed on any platform I'm on must be farther than where I'm willing to go as a user of that platform.

@realcaseyrollins yeah I'm not thinking anything hateful but maybe some ways I don't want to be some anarcho-communist who adheres to The Discourse perfectly, the real world has steered me into other viewpoints in some ways

No one is perfect. Be happy with your unique imperfections.
