I don't think you're going to find anything with true free speech, because that always almost immediately leads to child porn and drug and arms exchanges and loads of Nazis that no mainstream business wants to be known for.

Those communities are typically on the darknet (remember that?) in unregulated peer to peer communities like freenet and such, and to a lesser extent TOR. There was a lot of shady shit on Napster/Limewire too, back in the day, before censorship technologies and regulations caught up. I think these days there are other places like that, but I haven't kept up.

Even less-moderated communities (the chans and old reddit) still have to abide by legal regulations wherever they're hosted/registered or risk getting shut down or at least blocked by ISPs.

So if you really want liberty, you have to exist in a network layer that can't be easily moderated by anyone. Monitored, yes, but not easily moderated.

But guess what... you go there, and the content is obscure, slow, and usually trashy and toxic and often outright illegal and dangerous and abusive. Turns out extreme liberty can bring out the worst in people (or at least daylight the worst people), and normies tend to flee those places in droves and go back to arguing about gender on Twitter or whatever.
