Voat died because they took a max free speech approach, even allowing racism and stuff. Lemmy does not have a central administration that can make decisions like that, as each instance gets to decide if they federate with another instance or not.
There's no doubt going to be a banlist that gets shared amongst the biggest, most popular instances to get rid of the trolls.
You missed the part of my comment where I pointed out you must have done something to be charged with a crime. The Government did not stop you, they are punishing you for something you did.
Your right to say and do whatever you want is immutable and cannot be taken away from you. As long as you have a mind, you have the ability to think and do what you want.
All that anyone can do to stop you is to threaten you with punishment of some kind, hoping it'll deter you from doing that thing in the first place.
Good. The rule is stupid and deserves to be worked around. Water is essential. I hate when I go to these kinds of public places and they give you no option to get water other than bringing it yourself. Poor logistics on the part of the event organizers.
You can, you'll just face legal consequences for disturbing the peace or threatening others.
Notice how you get in trouble after you say something. The idea that a government can stop you from saying or thinking something is silly. How would you even enforce such a thing?
That's why the rights in the American's constitution are considered "inalienable", because even if there were (illegal) laws made to stop you from saying or thinking something, your right to do so is innate and can never truly be taken from you.
Yes, what is anyone going to do to stop you? That's why America has free speech at the very first right defined in the bill of rights.
The fediverse allows anyone to set up their own instances with their own rules and beliefs. It's simply the consequence of freedom of speech.
Those people and ideas you want to ban will always be there. If you make it so people have to hide them, it just makes it easier for the ideas to spread. It's better if they are openly criticized and refuted rather than swept under the rug.
They do, they just have to deal with people who think their ideas are worthless. You can even make laws against ideas you don't like, but they'll be even less effective than drug prohibition. Just look at China for a great example of that.
That's the beauty of the fediverse, a true diversity of opinion.
Reddit and other sites are wary about fringe communities and ideologies, and will ban them if they feel threatened. Just look at /r/ChapoTrapHouse or /r/The_Donald. Regardless of what you think of those groups of people, they have a right to spread their views.
No matter how much you wish to stop the spread of harmful information, it will spread as long as there are people who want it to.
Hate to be that person, but the lemmyverse has about 160k people as of this morning. If you include Mastodon it's millions, but they aren't likely to interact as much with lemmy users.
A Link to the Past is the one you want to start on. It'll get you right to the heart of what makes the classic Zelda games so good. If that's too retro for you, play Ocarina of Time, you can't go wrong with that masterpiece.
