Simplex isn’t what I use for free speech, nostr is, and my slurs are generally not racial.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No bigotry of any kind, including ironic bigotry.

MODERATORS
My "my slurs are generally not racial" shirt is raising a lot of questions already answered by my shirt
tagliNE TAGLINE lmao
MODS ADD IT
generally
This person wants 0 censorship? 
Wants 0 censorship and starts to work towards it by blocking everything he doesn't like.
This definitely checks out for a 
warrior.
Guys, he just really needs it to work with tor, for you know, reasons.
I love the their replies. They are so naive, it's adorable.
Just host your own fucking instance then nerd
No thanks.
Server admins can host their own instances when Tor support is added, though.
LMAO! I want you to do everything I tell you and I won't lift a finger! Of course buddy, you are 12.
EDIT: Oh my they're a one-person struggle session! :deep-nesting:
They even point to the benign rules (no ads, no porn, be respectful, no bigotry) as an example of censorship! Of course you do, you are 12.

The subject OP is still going. It's absurd.
For fun, go in there and tell them TOR was made by the CIA lmao
Or the NRL. Why the Navy? Idk, US bullshit
That's just the CIA but it's wet lol
Guy I used to play wow with was training to be a translator for Farsi for naval intelligence before he realized he was basically CIA and quit lmao

How to make a zero censorship instance:
- defederate every other instance
- disable signup
- say all the slurs in peace
lw still waits a month or two to defederate/tries to get them to enable federation with them
Love the whole "didn't ask, why tf are you talking to me?!" gambit in conjunction with the "you aren't arguing in gOoD fAiTh, why do you dare make me copy and paste bits of my rant to absolutely demolish your argument instead of reading my divinely inspired prose that seemingly no one in this 100+ comment chain understood?" responses to people pointing out why they are wrong.
Chud just wants to gargle Hitler's balls and ogle lolis hosted on someone else's computer and is upset that the (non-governmental) entity ICANN will turn off his DNS if he dares try.
This is word vomit and nonsensical. Also this person doesn't really understand what federation is supposed to be. Seems like the average sh.itsjust.nazi user
That is a wild ammount of words from a guy that needs his emotional support slurs
Lemmy urgently needs federation between onion service instances and DNS addresses in order to actually do what most users seem to wish it would do: allow discussion outside what the corporate authorities allow, while outgrowing reddit & helping undo the damage social media has done to human communication.
Shit thesis. The people that want this degree of speech are the people that would turn away any potential growth because they're obnoxious pedophiles and drug addicts. Not that there's anything wrong with drugs but the kinds of people who build their identity around them cause everyone who isn't into drugs to want to get far away from them. You won't be "outgrowing reddit" on this approach.
These people are part of the early adopter crowd so it's useful to make something that they will try and spread but you have to silo them away from everyone else while you do it or else they'll actively destroy the future of your platform rather than help its growth. Reddit discovered this when it had its violentacrez moment.
People who make deathsticks their whole personality are so tiresome.
The only good Jedi do is mindtrick-rehab people into not wanting to do deathsticks and go home to rethink their lives.
For once, I’m sad we don’t federate with shit.just.doesntwork. There’s no such thing as a no censorship instance, because at the very least CSAM has to be filtered out. The whole concept of censorship has been weaponized by fascists who want to be able to infiltrate every space.

I wish hexbear was more chill about piracy though.
Community is pro piracy in general, gotta be careful about posting certain things like direct download links in open chat though.
That's what I mean. It's cool when stuff is censored when the community doesn't like it but in this case stuff is censored even though the community likes it.
that's probably just to protect the sources from gathering undue attention? i can't imagine why else they would be censored

is it not? i've never seen anything pro-piracy removed
I think the only thing ive ever gotten any pushback on over the years ive asked for help getting stuff is an obscure punk album that I couldn't pay the bandcamp price for and wanted to rip it from the site. Generally I think this place is pretty open about it, innit?
They are right about TOR. Between the TikTok bullshit and porn sites requiring ID, it blows me away that more leftists aren't preparing for the obvious hammer hanging over their heads.
I don't necessarily think they are right about Tor. Why isn't DNS and IP addressing sufficient?
Most DNS registers aren't going to blast your DNS records, and even if they do, you don't have to specify ones from the United States or in the West, you can go to other countries that are more friendly to whatever particular ideology you're working with.
It hasn't even been a year since Hexbear spent a month in limbo because of Domain Name shenanigans brought on by its own admins.

Most DNS registrars aren't going to abide with the demands of Law Enforcement?
- lol. What? I'm sorry, but that is incredibly naïve.
- Hopping around from domain name to domain name, country to country hoping for the best is not how to keep a community alive and will absolutely shrink your userbase every time. We are not the pirate bay, the service sites like hexbear offers are not nearly in demand as free shit.

The only dns i need is /etc/hosts
I'm going to do my best to give a good-faith answer to why TOR isn't the answer it seems to be. Leftists should understand the limitations of the technology we use so we can properly adjust our own personal security postures.
Content moderation is difficult to impossible with TOR
A TOR instance would be very difficult (if not impossible) to moderate while keeping its users safe. By design you can't block a troll by IP; 4chan runs into this problem constantly. If you force users to register with email then all security will be compromised for both the user and server when it sends out emails over the clearnet, to say nothing if the server is compromised. AFAIK no email provider will accept an email sent through TOR.
Even if the Onion instance(s) didn't care about moderation (like the original ranter wants), other instances will care about the griefing and spam, driving them to defederate with the Onion instance(s).
Old members of ~~chapo.chat~~ Hexbear will remember several attempts to flood this site with all kinds of trash, or the great purge of transphobes. Content moderation is the key to keeping us from becoming another cesspool or falling offline. Ironically the *chans have similar moderation for the exact same reason.
Technological security can be undermined shockingly easily with one mistake
For the sake of argument, and to steelman your position, lets pretend the above are solved. One huge danger of technological security is it gives many a false sense of their own security. Look at the recent Young Republican leaks, or really any leak from far right types. All of Signalgate was because a journalist was accidentally invited into the chat. Basic social engineering often gets the goods.
Most busts of by the feds are human factors, like a lapse in security or reusing an email. Powers-that-be can also find and go after the admins, which can compromise the site no matter the technological security. The Feds cracked LulzSec by a slip-up from Sabu and from there dismantled the whole group from the inside.
Backtrace Security had found his identity through an IRC chatlog in which Sabu accidentally posted a link to his personal website.
The breadth of the raids on LulzSec suspects and hardware across the world should give everybody pause from a security standpoint.
I haven't even covered securing the server from hackers.
Conclusion
At the end of the day, Lemmy is designed to get us out from under Corporate control, just like phpbb forums back in the day. Being a Person of Interest by nation-states is a completely different beast. Everybody should read Diary of a Person of Interest to see just how much power the Five Eyes can put on you.
I hate being the debbie-downer. I do wish we could build more secure software to protect people, but I want to keep people safe by giving a realistic view of the technological limitations. With the limitations in mind people can adjust their own security posture to mitigate the issues above for themselves.

Isnt the whole point is to be able to setup whatever the fuck instance with whatever the fuck rules so literally just make a slur instance
