It doesn't work. Moderation has it's name precisely because suppressing content that is crated to incite emotional reactions keeps the mood in a community. All free-speech platforms I know of devolve into a hotbed of Neonazis and trolls. As a consequence, I am no longer interested in trying out "censorship resistant" platforms because I precisely know what will happen a couple months down the road.
Social media without meaningful moderation (ie. FB and Twitter before the latest crackdown) was an error.
I wasn't talking about a "free speech platform", I just think that moderation should be transparent, and that users should be able to view content deleted/hidden by moderators if they wish.
Many times I've read a discussion about someone being fired for a social media post. Some people will defend them, some people will say the reaction was justified. And I can't make up my own mind, because that post was swiftly deleted by moderators and now everyone's just acting on their own memory of the post.
