    Can you give a few examples of what kind of speech you think should be tolerated that is not? And do you believe that communities should be allowed to make explicit rules against certain talking points? What stops you from making a discord server or your own instance to discuss whatever these topics are? Why does everyone else should have to read it?

      “Trans women are men” is one. “There are only 2 genders” is another. “Trans women shouldn’t be allowed to compete in women’s sports“ is an instant “transphobic” ban on most places these days.

      No, I don’t believe any rules should be in place against “certain talking points”. That’s censorship, and I’m against censorship.

      Give people the tools to self moderate and censor what they see, but don’t censor things globally just because you don’t like it.
