I can empathize with not wanting to be involved with this anymore, which is fair enough, your choice, but there are solutions to the mentioned problems. There are social or technical solutions to the problem of "too much free speech". There can be decentralised filters set up that can be moderated by communities like democracy. You can have curators of content that can guarantee to bring safe and healthy content to you. You can have decentralised reputation, authority and reward systems for the content creators and the validators. And so on.

While I agree this an important factor to keep in mind and I'm personally very supportive of the idea, I don't think this really addresses the author's concern, which is not too much free speech as in "too many people being chaotic neutral", but more about small radicalized groups with too much free speech as "too extreme views". You can't ban "too extreme" communities.

  I'd rather have them visible than underground. If the radicals can grow, it shows that there are problems that need to be addressed. Address their core problems using reasoning, no more reasons to be radical. It's better for everyone.

    Issues is lies are more sedatius than truth, so radicalization can win out over rationalization short of "controlled" efforts to the contrary.
