I think that you are not allowed to speak freely on most platforms. And when i say speak freely i dont mean to have right to offend people, just to have right to normaly tell your opinion.

    That’s called being evangelical. You are being evangelical about Linux.

    This is the concept you don’t seem to be grasping. Here’s an example using vegans. Eating meat is objectively bad for the environment. That’s a fact. Eating more vegetarian and vegan meals is good for the environment and people’s health. Fact. No fucking sane vegan would expect to walk into someone’s backyard barbecue and tell them to stop eating meat without getting kicked out.

    Linux is better for users and privacy. Yes, that’s a fact. I use Linux. FOSS is amazing. Should people switch? Absolutely! But you don’t go preaching in the backyard of someone who is trying to barbecue without expecting to get kicked out.

    If someone is just streaming a video game and you preach Linux at them it’s within their rights to remove your comment if it doesn’t add to the conversation that they are trying to have with their community. Be that the “channel creator” or “YouTube/other company”

    A backyard is a private space and websites are private spaces. You will be kicked out if you barge in and say shit that isn’t welcome.

    Freedom of speech covers government censorship. None of this is hindering your freedom of speech.

    Do you understand?
