If you want free speech, you will never get it on a platform. Self hosting is the only way to know your message isn't tampered with or canceled.

I have a friend who thinks X and Elon are great, and yet he misses the possibility of no platform at all to interfere in your communications.

Many Twitter accounts have been locked post Elon, so it's curious to me how anyone can consider it truly uncensored or free speech in any capacity.
