Call them States ... like states within a federation.

You will need to argue with Amnesy International and Icij (links below). I cannot be convinced of your point of view.

That is the point I was making about Twitter, and it applies to Reddit as well. You have to stop that radicalization socially, they need their hands slapped to know that they are wrong. Twitter and Reddit dont just let MAGA go crazy, they give them a safe space to do it in. They block us normal people from telling them they are being crazy. He'll, Reddit let's them throw people out if they don't have Conservative flair (like a checkmark).

The institutions are preventing proper social responses to these hateful people.

I understand what you are trying to say, but Twitter is far from free speech. Twitter is a mob/mind control device. It brings hatred to the forefront. The worst posts thrown right into people's faces, then they tailor the content to focus the hatred.
One only needs to type the words "Cis Gender" in Twitter to see the censorship, the hatred, and the target all working together.

That's not free speech, it's brainwashing. Reddit is just as bad.

The bot was probably right. That has been yelled a lot. Soylent Green is ... Rich people!

Yes, sadly, freedom of speech includes freedom of hate speech. The platform would have to rely on its users downvoting or ridiculing the offender rather than outright bans.

I got banned yesterday and did not know what Lemmy was until I did a search for Reddit alternatives.

If you post on r/conservative they will actually stalk you and look through your posts to report stuff ... but you report them and that is ok.

Same here.

Because that word combination just makes sense.
