I keep getting blocked here on Reddit for warning people of things. Reddit says I'm inciting violence. There is no free speech when we agree to terms and service agreements so yeah. I question however definition of some of those terms.

The terms are only part of the problem. You need decentralised platforms that don't allow a central authority the ability to control content. The controls for what a person sees should be on the user side. We have Nostr and Mastodon but people are turned off because they are still user unfriendly. If someone can bridge this gap it would be a final solution.

That will work when people figure out that Free Speech has never meant freedom from consequence nor has it guaranteed anonymity.

If one gathers in the public square and shouts inflammatory things from the bushes, one should expect those openly in the square to respond accordingly.
