Software doesn’t make it free speech. The policies of the people running it make the speech free or not. Where do you list the policies, or more specifically, the limitations?

We’ve seen what happens to sites that try to be absolutely free; they turn into madhouses of conspiratorial lunacy, at best, or charnel houses of inhumane decency, at worst.

I made the mistake of advertising one of my sites as 'free speech', got over run with lunatics, alt-right, nazis and flat earthers!

Their money is as good as anyone else's (better even because they appreciate having a platform that doesn't kick them off) but sanity wise it's quite draining and not something I'd recommend.

When it really comes down to it 'free speech' is just whatever the owners of the platform tolerate, and that changes from site to site.

Yeah, to create a good free speech site these days with the big sites expelling crud while keeping the rest, you may have to keep quite about the free speech aspect and instead concentrate on building a good userbase first.

I haven't written policies yet, and you're right. Free speech is limited to the policies of the platform. That being said it is open source so you can run your own instance with whatever policies you want.
