Introducing Vivaldi Social, your new federated social-networking home
-
@DoctorG @mossman You're both missing the point. This isn't a USA vs rest-of-the-world thing. It's simply that Vivaldi's Mastodon instance is not a free speech zone. It doesn't have to be, it's private property: Vivaldi's house, Vivaldi's rules. If Vivaldi wanted to, they could make their Mastodon instance a free speech zone. But then they'd have to deal with the price of free speech: That people would be free to say angry, unkind, and hostile things (see Ayespy's post above).
There are already Mastodon instances which are free speech zones. People who want a free speech instance are free to use one. People who would rather not deal with angry, unkind, and hostile speech may use Vivaldi Social. That's what's nice about Mastodon: Different instances have different rules and approaches, so you can (hopefully) find the instance that works for you.

@Eggcorn If users need the so called free speech without any rules they can join many platforms to do so.

@DoctorG Yep, that sums up my post.

@Eggcorn I was referring specifically to citizens of one country implying that their domestic legal rights have anything at all to do with the service being discussed - which of course they don't. Nor do they have anything to do with the vast majority of that services users, nor the users in question when dealing outside their domestic frame of reference. Your laws do not exist here!

@doctorg: Very nice elephantsomamasoms! Mastodons please send more tips I can work on!

@DoctorG I'd prefer it this way instead of just XMPP chat: https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/79792/add-xmpp-protocol
