We should probably thank the OP for reserving themselves and be grateful that they have not been seduced by their lower urges, where merely giving in to them would cause vaguely illigitimate and shameful outcomes like yacht usage and being sought out for investment advice. ;) Public discourse is a performance. Not that it is fake, but it is the refined product of practice you can't see unless you have practiced it yourself. When you go see an orchestra and wonder why you can't get up on stage and just jam with them, is it censorship, or is being a part of that performance the effect of something that takes a lot of effort to be welcome in? Start your own punk orchestra or get good enough to be welcome in an officially sanctioned one. My conversations have been on signal groups, slack, pints with fraternal bros, meeting people while travelling and motorcycle camping, drinking at family bbqs, are typically with other men, and an less on boats these days. What they all have in common is they have a bar to entry of not being a sad sack. I agree that there are legitimately lame orchestra admission rules on official social media, but think about what being open, funny and welcome really means, and I guarantee you will get invited everywhere.
