I wanna go back to the wild west days of the internet where no one ever got banned for trolling or shitposting.
The censorship gestapo has started to ban shitposters from shitposting subs here on lemmy. That's how oversensitive everyone is now

Sounds like someone wants to openly use bigoted language without repercussions on privately-owned social media platforms.
The repercussions come from the choices of those who hear/see th.e bigotry.
Let them shout and announce themselves so they can be known.
bigoted language
Censor a bigot one day, censor someone with something important to say the next day
Right?
The problem is culture changed. How far people were willing to push it 10xed, then 100xed. I've been on free speech forums like Voat, then Ruqqus. But people are just too nasty to behave, and then not enough "normies" come to drown them out. You're left with a hate fueled, self censoring circlejerk.
(Same applies to allowing full shitpost ability on larger sites, just in smaller corners)
