With new folks arriving on #Mastodon every day, a reminder that social media doesn’t have to look like anything we’ve experienced before.*We* get to build the fediverse. So let’s make it awesome ✨

@Sheril I suggest total free speech so we get an accurate representation of ideas.I wanna see Hamas, the ADL, and the National Socialists having a civil conversation.

@mayonesa@berserker.town @Sheril@mastodon.social What you're suggesting is simply not possible.

@zlendy @Sheril Why not? We can all be sociable and agree to disagree.That is the basis of pluralism, pacifism, and egalitarianism after all!

@mayonesa @zlendy @Sheril Because even right now there's people shooting children just for being Others. That's why we can't "all be sociable and agree to disagree".

@SharkAttak @zlendy @Sheril This seems unrelated to discussion, and in fact the result of a lack of honest open discussion.

@mayonesa@berserker.town @Sheril@mastodon.social Too much free speech without censorship of any kind would inevitably end up with lots of hate speech and misinformation thrown around.In an ideal world what you're suggesting would be great. Unfortunately, at least some moderation is still necessary.

@zlendy @Sheril The only moderation that is needed is removing illegal content like CSAM."Misinformation" just means content that the speaker disagrees with, I have found. It is a term prone to abuse."Problematic" as the kids say :)

@mayonesa@berserker.town @Sheril@mastodon.social By misinformation I mean "drinking bleach to cure covid" or "vaccines cause autism". Things that if were to be taken seriously by the reader would be actively harmful to them in some way.Even so, you have a point. Some people use the term "misinformation" in an abusive way.

@zlendy @Sheril In my experience, the only way to fight that stuff is to speak up with data against it.Lost people can turn toward the side of sanity if given reason to believe.

@mayonesa @zlendy @Sheril Unrelated? You can't have a "civil conversation" with those who attack not for what you say but what you are.Remember, we can't tolerate the intolerant.

@SharkAttak @zlendy @Sheril I think we need to tolerate everyone, including the intolerant, because that determination is made by people equally as likely to be biased as the intolerant themselves.Free speech. All viewpoints. Let's hash it out instead of trying to censor people.

@mayonesa @zlendy @Sheril So you're saying we "need" to tolerate those shooting on children. I think we can stop here.

@SharkAttak @zlendy @Sheril Shooting is different than words.
