Your freedom is in the (theoretical) ability run your own instance and communities on it if you disagree with or have been banned from other instances. And your instance can federate with whomever will allow it.
Communities also want freedom – to be organized and run the way they want to be, and to be free from being hijacked or shit on uncontrollably by randos, bad actors, or even (defined by themselves) undesirables.
It’s not perfect. But you sometimes have to consider a bigger picture than just your personal freedom, to make things a free as practically possible.




































Depends how you read it. There are a few usages of the word. It’s pretty awfull either way.
