There is not, nor has there ever been a right of free speech on Lemmy. Lemmy is moderated. If you don't like the moderation of a particular instance or community, you can start your own. And then you'll find out that free speech absolutism results in utter chaos.
Being for the idea of free speech, where everyone can speak, is not the same as the right to free speech.
Personally I would prefer everything be available with one account and I could choose what I block. Sometimes I want to see what the other side is saying, and sometimes I want to block certain groups and never see them again. I want to be well informed of what the other side thinks and why they think it, even if I don't agree with it.
Well lucky for you that's not at all what the poster said! So it's unclear what you're soap boxing about!
