  • OP writes “instead of their american counterparts”, and then puts signal.

    Firefox as well any opensource doesn’t have a country. You can build it and use it. Avoid any centralized service.

    The 4 freedoms of software are:

    Freedom 0: The Freedom to Run
    
        You can use the software for any purpose, without restrictions.
    
    Freedom 1: The Freedom to Study and Modify
    
        You have access to the source code, allowing you to study how the software works and make changes to suit your needs.
    
    Freedom 2: The Freedom to Distribute Copies
    
        You can share copies of the software with others, whether for free or at a cost.
    
    Freedom 3: The Freedom to Improve and Share Improvements
    
        You can modify the software and share your changes with the community, helping others benefit from your improvements.
    

    as long as these freedoms are observed it doesn’t matter the country of origin.














  • They are not free however from consequences, i.e. getting hit in the mouth,

    I would say that this is wrong. If you get hit in the mouth for something you say, than it’s not freedom of speech. It’s the law of the strongest.

    Example: You wouldn’t hit a UFC fighter for something he said to you on a 1 to 1, however you would beat him if you are 10 against him. This is the law of the strongest.

    I don’t believe in absolut free speech. I think that it needs to have limits in it (very well defined limits), and there should be consequences for certain things. And the consequences need to be enforced in a way to counter them, like for example if you say hate crap then you should be forced to contribute to anti-hate orgs.



  • I register on reddit 17 years ago. Before the great migration from digg. I remember /r/programming being the first sub to reach 100k subscribers.

    I got banned for saying in the /r/europe sub that russia banning youtube in russia was a good thing because then we in the west would get less russian propaganda. Got banned for a couple days. Left and never looked back.

    /r/programming is dead already since around a decade. All the good discussions moved to hackernews and lobsters.

    EDIT: never forget that spez admitted to silently edit user comments that criticized him
