     My concept of #freedom and the #fediverse concept of freedom are not the same. I'm more libertarian/anarchist. I ignore what I don't like.

     But most of the arguments I have been making are technical not moral. A lot of us started instances partly to avoid censorship and control

     I think a better solution is that people should not subscribe to offensive content. The attitude of trying to control others that is wrong.

     Are you serious? You can't see how banning someone is more controlling than blocking them? I give up. Good luck with your campaign.

     Adults should be able to handle offensive content without crying about it. But that doesn't mean you aren't welcome here.

     I'm not asking anyone to tolerate anything. You don't get content from Nazis unless you subscribe to it. Why can't people understand this?

     No, of course not, but usually devil's advocate is about discussing a relevant idea that you don't necessarily agree with.

     But if censorship is offensive and Nazis are offensive, surely censoring Nazis is worse. Or better.

     I still don't know what I'd do if someone posted illegal content to my instance. But since I'm the only user it's easy to block.
