That depends very much on your opinion and how you choose to express it. Can you give us examples of how and where your freely expressed opinion has run afoul of moderation before?
Asking the real question over here.
Yeah, I don't think you're gonna get any answers OP until you give specific examples of these opinions that you were banned for.
Cant remember now exactly, but i newer offend anyone, dont use bad words ever, and just speak what i think it is, newer convincing people that am 100% right on any topic. And i still got problems whenever i talk about this corupt system we live in. When ever i speak about big companies doing bad stuff and similar..
That sentence of yours I quoted above is a solid red flag for me. Your reply now barely answers the "how" question. You didn't bother answering the "where" one. Because there are communities that have rules to avoid politics all together or to stay on topic. So proselytising about the corrupt system or terrible companies even in the most polite terms in a community that focuses, say, on cute bunny pictures will naturally get the moderators going. Another possibility is still that you haven't quite expressed your opinions in the innocuous way you think you have when moderators have stepped in in the past.
Also consider that a lot of the instances that don't do any or very little moderation tend to be isolated. By which I mean other instances won't federate with them.
Of the big instances, Lenmy dot ml has a reputation for being moderated in a biased way. So maybe stay away from there. And read the community rules before you post.
As long as there's moderation, there will be bias. I agree with most of what you said though.
