On what ideals were Lemmy created? I am asking it because I am considering supporting Lemmy any way I can but I won’t if the ideals of it’s creators are anything but upholding free speech. I want to know more about this website, can someone refer me to a book or a video which might encapsulate it?

What I mean by free speech: There is no justification to censor any views unless those views are directly demanding for physical violence against a person or community. Direct physical violence of course doesn’t include offensive speech against any religion (be it Islam, Hinduism or Christianity) or against any ideology or any “protected groups”.

    This instance is hosted in France, not the Unoted States, so your constitution has no relevance for moderation. Maybe a different instance would be more appropriate for you.

      Its not actually my constitution but being born in a tyranny I seem to value freedom of speech more than people who have gotten used to it. I don’t want to give a History lesson but French Revolution was also inspired by American war for Independence. So I would be surprised if france has Free Speech laws which are severely restrictive.
