What opinions do you think will be suppressed exactly? Never saw anyone get banned from anywhere for defending lower taxes or deregulation.
Spoiler for those who don't want to follow the whole conversation:
@golfnovemberuniform@infosec.pub is a tankie concern troll who tried to subtly suggest that liberals won't allow criticism of violence against Russian civilians, an RIDF dogwhistle that boils down to "opposing Russia's invasion of Ukraine means you want innocent Russian people dead", but did it so awkwardly and badly that it just came across like he's been licking his favorite Garfield painted glass mug every day for 20 years.
No I meant opinions on more sensitive topics such as religion and what Meta is allowing now.
Can you give concrete examples? I don't see anyone being banned for saying they go to church on Sunday either.
I don't have examples. I can't see banned posts anyways. I only have experience on other FOSS networks and Mastodon team's recent posts about their opinions on stuff like that.
So it's mostly my assumptions and not well proven predictions.
Let me rephrase, can you give a concrete example of an opinion that you think would be censored?
Another nice try, mr admin.
I am not falling for that again.
I'm not an admin. I just want to know if anything that would actually qualify as free speech is being censored or not.
It just seems that you are arguing on extremely vague hypotheticals in bad faith. And I'm assuming you are doing so because you want to promote hate speech, but you don't want to admit it.

Please look through your instance's modlog https://infosec.pub/modlog if you see any disappeared comments, posts or banned users to help determine if they are justified or not.
This is the only sane comment in this whole "discussion".
Can you give a specific example of what opinions you are talking about?
Nice try, mr admin.
I am not falling for that again.
What are admin/am i supposed to do, you can also dm something to me if you feel better about that
Or you could explain a specific situation without ratting anyone out
Sorry dm won't work either. Actually the previous successful attempt was in dm. I am not getting banned and I kindly ask you and everyone else reading it not to try to get my opinion on this. I know it can make me look like I'm just searching attention or saying nonsense but my account's safety is of higher priority.
Then you shouldn't vaguely open up topics if you can't prove anything about it or even tell a specific point that wasnt allowed.
That's exactly what FOSS social platforms are. Nobody here respects anyone but expects everyone else to respect them.
What are you talking about? You open a topic but then refuse to make clear what you are referring to then you shouldn't state something that leaves major questions
You’re not a coward, are you? Just tell us you wanna be racist, instead of pussyfooting around it. Say it with your whole chest.
Racist? I'm actually going against racism (especially against discrimination of civilian Russians) and you can check that. Stop this lol.
Who’s discriminating against civilian Russians so much, making that the issue you would heft your ass from your seat for?
I'm not sure I understand this point. If you think that discrimination of civilian Russians is what I'm mostly afraid of on Mastodon, that is not the case.
Also I already stated that I'm not willing to discuss the unreasonably prohibited topics in order to not get my account banned. Reacting on that with disrespect and offense is very hilarious but I would still suggest to stop.
Ah, so the stuff you wanna say is stuff that’ll get your account banned. Since you’re not specifying, I’m gonna assume it’s the worst thing I can think of. That’s mostly because whatever you’ve got is more worse than anything I can think of.
Some combination of pederasty, racism, murder, and violence against children of other races, all at once, in public.
Clarify.
Hey self, why are you bothering with this guy who has cheese powder on his fedora? Go read a book. The book won’t make you angry.
