Well, maybe, but given how a massive chunk of the modlog that you refer to here are just people having their posts removed for hurling abuse, making threats etc. How do you think those types, blacklisted from the 'censored' fediverse clustering all together on a single 'free speech' instance would go?
If there's enough people who want 'free speech' instances, they can easily organise if the numbers are supposedly there.
They would probably not be acceptable by people who approve of the current state of lemmy moderation, and that's okay.
I just see it being a repetitive, boring troll infested collection of communities
It's fine for you to think that.
It looks like you're happy with how things are going, so it's not really a concern for you.
I can't fathom why its so important for some to be able to freely hurl abuse on online platforms.
That really seems to be all its about here.
Moreover, I'd also suggest that the reason a lemmy instance of this nature does not exist is because there's no need for it for them. There are already sites that allow them to do this. Why would people of this nature be drawn to the style of Lemmy or Piefed? The entire structure of the Reddit-clone is built around curation and filtering.
That's fine.
It's clear that you don't want such instances to exist, so you're trying to convince others not to want them as well.
You can just go on about your business and if those instances ever pop up, you can just ignore them.
