Any Free speech, censorship resistant lemmy, mastodon and fediverse altrnatives ?

I am looking for projects of links agregators or micro blogs, that don't rely on centralized servers and especially no mods. I've had it with mod's power trips. and how personal biases affect heavy moderation.

I want to try something with no governance, maybe p2p, and with better transparency than lemmy.

I'm not sure, but in my opinion, moderation is necessary. Any network without moderation will be flooded with Nazis and pedophiles. I don't think you'll have a good time.
- At this point I am disappointed with every other internet model that came out so far. and I don't think that moderation has been a good addition, I can see the need for it if you are building a community around your own persona, like a streamer or influencer fandom. but for things like politcs and economies and stuff it just turns into echo chambers.
  
  Sure but without moderation you're left with a Nazi echo-chamber. When there's no mechanism to kick out the Nazis, most normal people will leave over time. A platform that allows Nazis just becomes a Nazi platform.
Host your own fediverse (Lemmy/Mastodon) instance. See who defederates from you.
- No this federation experiment is at the end for me.
  
  I don't believe in the federation model anymore. I was looking for a p2p protocol like a big bitorrent swarm, something more decentralized where no one has power over the discussions. I want to filter the content I want to consume. I dont't need someone else to decide what I should or should not read. I was hoping for an open network where every node have the same leverage and you only mod your own feed.
  
  So basically, you don't want people to be able to defederate from you?
  
  What you look for seems to be Nostr
Sounds an awful lot like you're trying to find illegal shit and have plausible deniability that "that's not what I was looking for, officer! I swear! Someone just posted it on their own!"
- According to your handle, it might be you who is intersted in that sort of shit, but you are instead reflecting it on others.

It's a ghost town so not really fun/useful.
- Thanks, at least this is a helpful response, Will check it out!
- omg! that has a cli client
Give a try to ZeroNet
- Isn't ZeroNet a dead archived project ?
Might be worth checking out Aether. Multiple dealbreakers for me though.
