nobody is going to visit a website without critical mass.
Too bad. Also there are plenty of 'free speech' websites out there already and they are cesspools.
What does "entitlement" have to do with anything
You can't stop mixing something being technically possible with what you actually want, which is to broadcast something people don't want to see to a large audience. It doesn't work that way.
What I don't want is a platform muting other people on my behalf,
So use those websites. Go to voat or 8chan. Maybe you will like it better.
Sounds like you have lots of ideas for your perfect message board. Go ahead an make it and see what happens. By your own rules it will probably be a disaster until people implement their own filters, but most people won't do that and will go somewhere that is already cleaned up. People don't want to go to a site and see swastikas spammed and then have to figure out how to not see that before they can use the site. That is basically slashdot if you turn the filtering down.
You probably haven't realized this yet, but the next thing you will get upset with is the filters. Once there is filtering and you realize that you aren't able to spew whatever you want to people that don't want to see it you get mad that you are being filtered and you will call that censorship.
