The joinmastodon.org site curates the instances it recommends to only show ones that don't permit racism, sexism and transphobia. OP seemingly wants those on their instance so they won't find it there, and they also won't find them in the global timeline on the "mainline" fediverse because those instances are banned for obvious and good reasons.
You can, however, probably find links into the alt-right sphere fediverse on the chans. And they would be federating together so you can trace those instances to find one you, uh, want.
- robjan 6y agoI don't think GP is looking for an alt-right instance, probably just one where you aren't treading on eggshells all the time. The people on the Fediverse do have a bit of a reputation for cancelling people who they disagree with, most notably Wil Wheaton [0].

- artyr3 6y agoI dont think its people on the Fediverse per se. I think its leftists in general. They aren't much different from the people they claim to be better and more "tolerant" than. They have just as much catchphrasing and judgement as the right, but of course they are correct :P I went on Gab. There are some serious nut job racists on there. But I kept blocking them, and found that the majority of people are pretty mellow. Even un-political. But these days, everyone wants to judge things by their extremes. Which is just weird.

- wizzwizz4 6y agoHearing about what happened to Wil Wheaton was a shock to me, when I first found out about half a year ago. I don't think this behaviour is all that common, though I'm (un)happy to be proven wrong.
- Thorentis 6y ago> because those instances are banned for obvious and good reasons. What benefit does Mastodon offer over Twitter if you think that censorship is good?
- untog 6y agoNot being owned by a Silicon Valley giant? No advertising? API access that doesn’t get shut off for idiotic reasons? I’m sure there are plenty more.
- throwaw4y-plate 6y agoNot-federating with people you dont like isn't censorship, y'all.
- zanny 6y agoTwitter is ruled by the will of the company and by extensions its shareholders and by extension of that the interests of capital. The Fediverse broadly isn't really ruled, its about who you participate with. It is to the benefit of Mastodon et al that even though the mainstream deplatforms intolerance it doesn't actively prevent them from using the software, just from using their servers of it. Yea, if you want to be in the mainstream Fediverse you need to play by the consensus rules of that space. But its just that, a consensus of server operators, rather than the will of a corporate entity.
- kortilla 6y agoI’m not sure mob rule is better than a corporate entity in this regard.
- zaarn 6y agoIf you disagree, you can run a server that doesn't follow consensus. The most common outcome is that you'll be blacklisted or atleast silenced by other instances (silenced meaning only people that deliberately follow see your posts). People who agree with you and don't blacklist your instance can talk and interact with you. That is basically as close to proper free speech as you get. I get my corner of the internet, where I will blacklist nazis and racism, you get yours were you don't.
- youeseh 6y agoHave you learned nothing from artists, comedians, authors, game creators, musicians, peace activists or civil liberty activists?
- manigandham 6y agoOP only said they want more free speech, not the extremism that you’re quick to assume, which is why they probably want that freedom in the first place.
