Most instances do. What do you feel like you cant say?
Doesn't seem true, most instances have a long list or rules and doesn't seem to tolerate basic slurs

Something tells me bro doesn't really mean the f-word
Eh depends on which f-word you're referring to. They definitely don't seem like they're trying to find an instance that lets them say "fuck" though...
Is free speech just the ability to say slurs?
Maybe free speech is bad then.
A lot of them do! You can find the list here
Man with the meme after my own heart there.
Is that supposed to be a dead link?
You say that like it's a bad thing.
If you want to use slurs, go back to Reddit![reddit-logo reddit-logo](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/4aac8007-876f-4c7f-936d-b7eabf506ef4.png)

The horror...
Those aren't slurs. Slurs by definition denigrate an group of people at the same time as the person addressed, by saying, essentially, "You are an X and that is had because being X is bad."
One word: imbecile.
You are violating lemmy.ml rules. I'm not reporting you because i believe in free speech and i believe your comment added something to the discussion but someone else may report you and you could get banned
I reported myself just now. Let us see what is going to happen.
I don't care about you all discussing slurs but calling each other slurs crosses the line. Keep it about the discussion.
Wee woo wee woo![scared scared](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/eaad3f1f-92a4-4b1f-8181-3a582a36629a.png)
Oh here we go lol
That begs the question of what slurs you feel you wish to say, and then why you want to say them?
I'm not looking to saying any particular slurs, i'm looking for a list of instances that support free speech. Lemmy.world doesn't seem to do that as they censor even swear words
Unless you're clear on what speech you feel is missing, you're not going to get an answer.
Which slurs are your favorites? I'm curious. Maybe if you're specific I can recommend a good instance for you.
I don't have favorite slurs and i'm not looking to insult anyone. I was wondering if there's a list of lemmy instances that support free speech
