In practice the content that can be challenged under NetzDG is scoped and focused on hate speech and terrorism. While news outlets originally latched onto the "they crush free speech" soundbite, it's really a law to acknowledge the responsibility of the publishing platform for what they're bringing to the world.

What gives you the impression that "maximized free speech" is the goal of Mastodon?

And as a hint about whether that is a goal, take a look at Mastodon's instance picker [1], which says:

> We only list communities that are committed to active moderation against racism, sexism and transphobia.

Why is that funny? It's supposed to be a substitute, not something entirely different altogether.
