I'm a very strong supporter of free speech. But free speech absolutism where you go out of your way to make all voices heard is not what free speech is about. It's about the government not interfering. Just like people have a right to a gun, but Walmart has the right to kick you out for bringing one, rammy.site users have the right to say whatever they want, and other instances have the right to defederate.

If a teacher goes against the curriculum and teaches children that black people are all out to get them, I sure as hell hope the school would step in and stop or remove them.

That's not a violation of free speech, but in your opinion above it would be.
