Marxists in general are in favor of controlling the speech of the bourgeoisie, as were Marx and Engels:

>6. Centralisation of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State.

Marxists are not "anti-free speech," nor are Hexbear and Lemmy.ml. Rampant misinformation and bigotry should be removed, and is. Marxists, including .ml and Hexbear, are absolutely pro-Human Rights. Marxists do hate liberals, liberals are pro-Capitalism apologists, and thus liberalism has been a target of Socialists of all stripes since liberalism became a thing.
