nostr:npub1cuscsrz6efq99ptktk26x58v4yqy9y46ytp8xw4rjjwq0wlt6znst66789 I agree with the broader point you're trying to make here however

> the right of free speech does of course not mean the right to have it published

I think that's off base. self publishing your own writing is hardly different from speaking your mind on the street corner

when it comes to third parties, free speech the concept is always in tension with other rights that might eat away at it such as when someone else exercises their freedom not to publish what you wrote

someone kicking me out of their home for insisting on saying things that they don't like over dinner is certainly infringing my freedom to speak my mind where and how I please. however in that particular context it doesn't seem to pose a threat to broader society (and conversely, not permitting them to do so probably would pose a threat)

at least in the case of fedi, while defederation might cause you some minor problems instances are generally small enough that it doesn't seem to pose a fundamental threat to your ability to use the network. compare this with twitter or facebook who arguably might be large enough that it could cause you serious problems, particularly where the political process is concerned

similarly, imagine owning a business and having the listing for it banned from google maps. size matters when it comes to these things
