@kkarhan @KelsonV @eff I think there is kind of a distinction with a T1 provider, it is a greater bottleneck.
It is frustrating how seemingly ineffectual they can be in fighting for free expression. They're a free speech group, but unless the government is passing a bill, they nap in a lot of cases.
Government authoritarianism is important to oppose (and I suppose you don't want core infra providers with itchy fingers), of course, but so much is of a more corporate nature.
When I say free expression, I don't typically mean Joshua's little site here, it's more basic things like sexual expression, art, and more.

When they do comment on that (sort of), it is primarily in the context of infra.

As seems rather evident, people who are disinterested don't seem particularly interested enough to take the time to signal their disinterest.
Lol.
Since I tagged #anime, I'm just mentioning briefly the findings of my crude market research round.
I did a poll which looked into whether someone would like an instance with free expression without meanness.
This was sparked by my discovery of polarization in some content moderation policies.
I looked at some other polls, and I figured that around 8 - 10 responses is about the max it should get.
I got around about half of that in favor, which is... Interesting.
The "No" option was mainly there as a curiosity. It wasn't very useful as a tool to gauge disinterest.
I can see why it *might* be uniquely offensive to someone.
The humor references sexual offenders specifically (and rather gratuitously), i.e. candy, rather than simply engaging in edgy scenarios.
But, then, the potential for offense isn't something that is particularly relevant to me here.
Also, this is a tip of the iceberg, because the anime really is joke after joke after joke.
