Run your own instance. It’s the only way you’ll be able to set your own policies. Otherwise you’re subject to policies of the instance you’re on and those policies may change at any time.

Well I posted this to see if there are instances that already have similar principles, without creating my own.

If your going to run a free speech instance, I advise running the server in the US and using a server provider that is free speech friendly. It will also not hurt to use a domain registrar that is pro free speech. By running the server in the US, you got first amendment protection

Doesn't the 1st apply to US citizens only?

Yes but hosting a “free speech instance” in a country without freedom of speech protections will be harder to run due to the lack free speech rights. I advise running such an instance in the US for this reason.

The users on the instance that are not US citizens have to in theory follow their local laws. Kinda like how a Russian or Chinese internet user needs to be cautious when using American social media.

it applies to US persons. adult civilians are protected. children are a grey area. if you’re outside of the US you’re probably a communist so why bother ;)
