I'm sure somewhere in the Chinese constitution it says Chinese citizens have a right to free speech too :-)

There is no practical right to free speech in the EU, this happened a few weeks ago: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6316567/Woman-corre...

There is no free speech in Germany, so chances are that someone will say something on Diaspora that the government of Germany won't like. Then, if the owner of Diaspora refuses to delete the "illegal" post, he will be thrown in jail, so he doesn't really have a chance not to censor whatever the government forces him to censor.
I am not happy with these new services because they are all hosted in the EU where there is no right to free speech, so to me they are not an improvement over what they are supposed to replace.
What's the stance of Diaspora on free speech?

Edit: I guess it's horrible, since the owner is based in Germany. Ouch.

Saying something is unfeasible or hard to do doesn't make your comment toxic.

I'd say most Linux installations today are Android mobiles. Do those have Minix too?

I agree with this. It is likely that something else would've filled the void. Maybe something much better. Maybe we're missing on a lot because Linux popped up :)
He said they are illegal to carry in public.
