SaidIt isn't a free speech platform because of the pyramid of debate rule (lots of influential discourse irl takes places at low-pyramid levels), and because of trying to not be like voat (see admin magnora7's comments in /s/holocaustskepticism). Arguably I shouldn't be here because I'm wary of stuff being censored at all and annoyed that people continue to use sites that are censored... but I don't want to read the pornography and the hostility and the grossness and I haven't gotten around to setting up filters and I ended up back here for the time being.

notabug.io (which I think has a pretty neat concept) and freespeechextremist.com (fediverse) are pretty much as-free-as-the-law-allows speech (though of course that still excludes some things). /s/DecentralizeAllThings and /s/SaidItAlternatives list some other platforms that may be of interest.

and because of trying to not be like voat

There is a number of factors to voat, and freespeech is only one. Others are down votes, dominating personalities ,lack of any opposition combined to suppress any opposition. I think there is multiple ways you can avoid voat while still having absolute free speech, and optional moderation is one good way. Look how well post collapsing works on Notabug.

Notabug is alpha, a lot of the features are incomplete. Developer is gone too.

Porn reliably gets NSFW tags. That works well, even on Reddit or Twitter, which, ironically, are full with porn. You are more likely to catch a glimpse of a body part you don't like to see at a beach or a pool.
