It is a "free speech" platform insomuch as it is intentionally making space for people with fundamentally conflicting beliefs.
There is no c/conservative on Beehaw, and many of us would not be here if there was. Extremism is not the only thing that is incompatible with my beliefs, and I get enough daily exposure to Neoliberal and Conservative viewpoints that I don't want to deal with it when I'm relaxing. It's why I haven't had Facebook or Twitter in years.
Lemmy.world and Beehaw just have different goals.
