    Well keeping the Nazis and conspiracy nuts grounded would require there to be a policing of their speech,

    That’s not necessarily true.
    You assume that bad actors can only be dealt with through authoritarianism when liberal-left would argue that it’s possible to have a self-moderating community either through democratic moderation (upvotes/downvotes) or reeducation (e.g. defundthepolice).

    Most “free-speech” proponents for discussion platforms such as lemmy are arguing against authoritarian censorship not a democratic one. Free-speech is an issue of authoritarians vs liberals not left vs right, but somehow people always pull out the “bad nazi right” strawman.

      That is sadly very common. As it seems, doing the wrong thing for the right reasons makes it a right thing. If you ask me, it doesn’t work out this way. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

      It’s really interesting how far auth-left this community is turning out to be.
