I think that you are not allowed to speak freely on most platforms. And when i say speak freely i dont mean to have right to offend people, just to have right to normaly tell your opinion.

Several times now I have had my comments deleted for "hate speech" for criticizing political actions or calling out hypocrisy or blatant lies or misinformation.

Then a comment in that same post will be cheering and applauding and laughing at the inhumane and ethnic cleansing taking place. They will proudly say "I voted for this and hope they all suffer" and it stays.

I don't care at all about my comments, per se, but it is depressing thinking how much that probably happens all the time. How many legitimate comments get removed because of a mod's bias, while actual hate speech and misinformation stays.
