No advertisers do. Look to 4chan for free speech. No company in their right mind wants to have anything to do with it.

Corporations want family friendly sites with only happy thoughts.

I also want a fun place to procrastinate on but for some reason most vocal „internet free speech advocates” are also the people who insist my feed should be mostly political agitation, aggressive content that targets people or minorities and news to piss me off, otherwise I am one of the „sheeple”.

That description just sounds like regular news and social media.

Once something becomes a number it ceases to be a metric? It's all about eyeballs and ads focused around engagement. Reminds me of a clip of dogs aggressively barking at one another behind a fence or glass door.

No one cares about your feed. If you don't want "political agitation, aggressive content that targets people or minorities and news to piss me off" on your feed, then don't follow people who post this kind of stuff.

This talking point gets repeated a lot, and it is really disingenuous.

What you are saying has absolutely nothing to do with legitimate medical doctors being deplatformed because they have an off script opinion of how society should respond to covid.

It has nothing to do with kicking trump off Twitter.

What you are saying has nothing to do with any of the 'moderation' that anyone is actually complaining about.
