Freedom makes a huge requirement of every human being. With freedom comes responsibility. For the person who is unwilling to grow up, the person who does not want to carry his own weight, this is a frightening prospect. - Eleanor Roosevelt

That's a great question. Free speech doesn't mean lawlessness. There are many exceptions listed in the US constitution and those can be pursued by authorities to the degree they navigate IPFS - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_free_speech_exce...

For starters, we deliberately made a conscience decision not to make it easy to include photos or videos in content. We also made a decision not to create a general feed where all content is accessible.

> For starters, we deliberately made a conscience decision not to make it easy to include photos or videos in content.

So instead of censoring some photos and videos through moderation, you decided to censor all photos and videos.

It sounds like you want to comply with US law, but US law requires censorship of some speech: libelous claims, copyrighted works, incitement to violence, etc. Why comply with some US law and not all of it?

Maybe they are complying with the laws they agree with? I don't see any reason why it has to be all or none.

Taking away my right to post photos. The irony.

[drooby]

We have a right to post photos?

[drcongo]

No, which is kinda the point. Every platform makes decisions about what content is acceptable, this one has decided your hate speech is perfectly fine, but a photo of your dog is beyond the pale.

Twitter, Facebook etc. all make their own decisions about what is acceptable for you to post on their platform, and so does this "free speech" platform.

People get emotional and re-share pictures and videos more than text.

A photoshop of a politician doing something they never did or a deepfake of them saying something they never said is a lot more infectious than a mere written claim of the same thing.

It's only cencorship if they prevented that and NOT also your clearly virtuous and harmless pet video.

If the entire MO of this is to be “uncensorable,” and “undeplatformable”, I don’t think there will be too many ordinary dog photos. Clearly this will be a place for fringe elements who otherwise are getting kicked off bigger platforms, and somehow don’t want to use the existing alt platforms.

Don't you think including a bunch of images on your landing page is contrary to the spirit of the service?
