Freedom of speech is often confused with a right to say what you want on any platform, but it's not the same. As long as you can host your own website, say whatever you want on it and have the website be accessible to other people, there is freedom of speech on the internet. That's not the case in all countries, but in many it is. But getting banned on Twitter for writing "cisgender" or getting your post removed on Lemmy doesn't really touch your free speech whatsoever.
Well imagine this. If you live in a city where you are not allowed to speak freely on city major centar and you are alloved to speak freely in your ovn home where there is non around. Is that realy a free speach city?
So im allowed to speak freely on myown website that noone knows even exist, but im not allowed to speak freely on twiter or so called x where eweryone are..
Free speach means that twiter shouldnt be allowed to delete any coment that isnt offending someone directly.
Or if they have a power to do so than we all shouldnt use twiter. We should use some more free platform like lemmy.. Or some other, fell free to sujest.
People aren't entitled to having their opinion heard by strangers
You dont have to hear me, you dont have to read my comments or posts. And that will not do all rhe people, just ones that find it interesting. So removing and deleting my post is harming those who would read it and learn something from it.
Come on. Cough it up. What weird unsolicited evangelical messages have you been posting on people’s YouTube channels?
Nothing like that at all. First my comment didnt remove people that made video my comments were usualy deleted by youtube itself. Because they dont want people to know truth. And im just trying to tell people the truth. Secon if my comment was removed in some cases by youtuber that was when youtuber was straightup lying and i reveald the truth so they remove my comment. And im not the only one that tryed to tell people truth and got deleted, others did as well..
Do you want me to reveal one truth for you and make you see how they were lying to you and were hiding truth that i and other people are trying to say to everyone.
Oh gosh…. What’s this big truth you have discovered?? 🙄
And please tell me you don’t need my social security number and 5 easy payments for it.
Hahahah ofc not im not a scammer. Listen now, all companies and people in their homes for private use, use microsoft office for which you need to pay. While libre office is open source project, its free and its more than what most people need. And noone uses it. Also its available for any platform, Windows, Mac os and Linux while Microsoft office is available only on Windows and Mac. So if open source project with milon times less money can provide office for all platforms how is it that Microsoft that has all the money in the world cant provide their software on linux. They dont want to do it on purpose. Also look at all other open source projects. Gimp is available on all platforms, photoshop isnt, firefox open source and all platforms, google chrome isnt and didnt want to come to linux for years. Adobe premiere pro isnt available on linux and adome has milions and milions of dolars while kdenlive which is open source and has nothing of money compared to adobe iz available on all platforms. So its obviuosly on purpose. And those programs are mejor opsticals for people to switch to linux. Many people would but when they here that you cant install photoshop and premier pro and microsoft office, they wont svitch. And it doesnt even make any sense that people use those programs in the first place when you have open source programs like gimp, kdenlive and libre office. Meaby some profesionals have a need for them but that is 1% of the people. The rest of the world is more than enough with those open source programs. So do you think that its coincidence that noone knows for these open source programs. Also why use windows when linux is open source and much better for safty. And free on top of that. Its all on purpose my friend.
That’s called being evangelical. You are being evangelical about Linux.
This is the concept you don’t seem to be grasping. Here’s an example using vegans. Eating meat is objectively bad for the environment. That’s a fact. Eating more vegetarian and vegan meals is good for the environment and people’s health. Fact. No fucking sane vegan would expect to walk into someone’s backyard barbecue and tell them to stop eating meat without getting kicked out.
Linux is better for users and privacy. Yes, that’s a fact. I use Linux. FOSS is amazing. Should people switch? Absolutely! But you don’t go preaching in the backyard of someone who is trying to barbecue without expecting to get kicked out.
If someone is just streaming a video game and you preach Linux at them it’s within their rights to remove your comment if it doesn’t add to the conversation that they are trying to have with their community. Be that the “channel creator” or “YouTube/other company”
A backyard is a private space and websites are private spaces. You will be kicked out if you barge in and say shit that isn’t welcome.
Freedom of speech covers government censorship. None of this is hindering your freedom of speech.
Do you understand?
