Observing what some are calling "growing pains" with how Mastodon instances moderate minority voices is reinforcing what free speech advocates like @popehat have preach for years - that it is the ability for minorities to share their perspectives even if that is uncomfortable for the majority which is the most important function of free speech.
I keep seeing references to this "minority voices making the majority uncomfortable".
I have not witnessed such a thing - nor do I imagine what a minority person might say that wasn't a direct personal attack that would "make me uncomfortable" to the point I'd want their ideas moderated.
If I watch long enough maybe I'll spot one of these digital unicorns?
