I have thought about building my own platform as well. I joined lemmy thinking that it would be different but if it's going to be the same b******* then what is the point? I do believe a platform can exist where people don't have the same opinion on everything. But it's also important to define what a troll is. There's nothing wrong with downvoting. It just shows that people disagree with what someone has said. I also believe that there should be a third button where people can vote that someone is a troll. This is the button that should be used by moderators to review a user's account if they have a certain number of troll votes. I believe in freedom of speech but I also believe that one person's freedom ends where another person's freedom begins. Nobody has the freedom to violate another person's freedom. Threats and harassment should not be tolerated and should not be considered freedom of speech. Inciting violence is not freedom of speech. Spreading propaganda and targeting people who would otherwise not seek out this propaganda is not freedom of speech. The use of technology to manipulate information is not freedom of speech. Hate speech is not free speech. It's very easy to define what should be acceptable and what should be banned. The problem is that greed controls everything and that is why we cannot have nice things.
