I look for one that allows or protects offensive and insulting statement.

There is a very large difference between what is offensive and what is criminal.

Hate speech does not exist, people use that to silence different views, that is why there is no universally recognize definition of the term that all sides agree on.

Mastodon can be heavy on censorship by banning IP addresses rather than individual accounts. Not banning an account, but IP. So when one instance bans an IP, that means that IP is blocked from all users on that instance.

Twitter has never banned IP addresses, only accounts. Twitter does not keep a list of naughty words that result in immediate ban after posting, and suspended users can still reaxh Twitter to discuss the issue.

It seems that federated platforms are more ban happy than the corporate platforms. If Lemmy and Mastodon really want to challenge the bigger companies, protect offensive posts, protect mockery and insults, people challenging or correct someone’s statement, and distinguish them from actual attacks and degrading words.

Why is it written with collectivist speak? "…reminds us…? Who is the “us”? The collectivist phrasing is disturbing as opposed to using objective terms.

If you want to talk about anything to do with BSD, you can’t do it with a Linux mindset using Linux terminology if you don’t want to lead with your prejudices and ignorance as soon as you start talking.

As a first step starting point, there is no such think as a BSD distribution or “distro”. TrueNAS and pfSense are not and have never been a distribution.

I’m not going to give you all of the info or explain what they are, I’ll leave it at that for you to choose to dismiss it and stay ignorant or read and learn, expand your thinking, and stop crossing one operating system with a different operating system.

I do not have a Google account, so no Gmail address, I do not use Play Store, and I do not use YouTube website.

You can setup your own instance of hosting a Searx search engine once yo have a domain.

Are you asking for something like Searx?

For real true freedom I like the ISC license for giving away source code.

The constant argument about companies stealing source code is a cultural problem, not a license issue. Fix the social culture in society so people have ethical standards again, and companies will start to change their amoral behaviour. Not immoral, but amoral.

GPL are fanatics who are leeches off of other peoples work to build anything. I have wondered if that’s why GPLv3 people have never built an operating system like BSD engineers and designers, only a collection of parts from different designers and made them come together.

There is no operating system called GNU with a kernel and native format for installing software. There is no operating system called Linux with system libraries and a format to install software built into Liux natively.

It’s like Stallman built the body of a care and ever dealt with the engine. Linus built an engine but didn’t know how to do anything with an engine like engineer the rest of the body.

Each BSD is it’s own operating system with their own developers. A FreeBSD kernel can’t run OpenSD libraries.

Why are GPL fanatics such Marxists?

I was going to say that I agree iPhones are smartphones are of no benefit, they don’t do anything, I’m being sarcastic, but looking closer at the list, how did they get it all so very wrong?

Don’t need 64 bit for more than 4GB? Every new computer should have 32GB and 64GB is not unreasonable.

Don’t need full HD? How does 8K resolution sound with 16K being developed?

I question their basic knowledge and experience with technological advancements for higher demand, more complicated work loads, and adcancements for security protections like 64 bit memory address randomization that can’t exist on 32 bit hardware.

Another part of it could be because people use Google search, search promotes Chrome for an optimal experience, they decide to try Chrome and end up sticking with Chrome.

Every and all apps can be faked if there’s no code verification to register, plus mass signup detection. For example 1,000 email registrations from name@me2.info, those are all fake.

A puzzle captcha combined with receiving an alphanumeric code verification seems to have a very high percentage of only real humans registering, that is if the company is not built on a scam from the very conception to get free investment money.

Thank you for countering me point by point, I fully respect. Even if you say that I’m wrong, I must always respect someone who argues point by point, and doesn’t do the usual internet trash of “You sound stupid, you don’t know anything”.

I have seen in Trisquel Linux forums, they get irritated or offended for mentioning something that is not 100% open source. For example, if someone obviously new posts “I want to stop using Windows, will Trisquel help me to only use free software from now on?”, to which the replies will be “Yes, but please don’t mention that software in the forum here, we don’t like that kind of promotion”. I read that and my thought is “Dumbass, they were explaining their current situation and what background they are coming from in pursuit of trying to find guidance, they were not promoting anything.”

At a certain point, people have to address the way the world is, not the way they want everything to be running. I would love to live in an exclusively BSD world with a heavy majority towards OpenBSD, along side FreeBSD to to run on all other systems. But in the mean time, since people who do all production work with various proprietary program, we have to live along side them.

My view is until free software can match the quality of a $100 million movie project as proprietary software vendors, libre software does not exist any any conversation with those people. A movie editor that makes a million dollars doing all of the editing work production does not care about software.

I think that’s what I find puzzling, is how to libre/free software advocates not see that for people who get paid for their production work on computer all day, open source software is not an option. I am not going to criticize someone who uses various Adobe programs or Pro Tools for being able to produce better quality work in less time, and there is no libre software alternative for what those programs do.
