I want a free speech platform that allows any content from humans or bots, from any political leaning from anarchism to fascism. What’s the most mainstream platform that puts free speech first? I can only think of Rumble. There are some federated instances but they are usually small.

telegram (depending on the channel) or kick (same thing). Forums like 8chan are mostly just intel-agency honeypots and manipulation operations pretending to be organic and unvarnished interactions, to lure in future ‘lone wolves’ or to scare normals away from unmoderated speech and spaces, ‘chemotherapy’ basically.

A good place to start is probably Usenet. Else, there are some forums and imageboards on i2p. Also, 4chan allows writting, but content gets overwritten fast.
Most probably x.com is the closest fit, though why anyone would choose that platform is beyond me. For clarity, are you a free speech libertarian or an anarchist?
24 hoursLots of people say that want total freedom for anybody to post anything, but it becomes clear almost immediately that it’s completely unsustainable. Spam, CSAM, and other illegal stuff has to be moderated or users leave and the admins get in legal trouble.
What most people mean by “free speech absolutism” is “I want to be able to say stupid, offensive shit without being held accountable.” Even if that’s not your intent here, that’s the prevailing interpretation, so you’re being judged on that.
There’s no such thing. Unrestrained bots make it impossible for human community to sustain itself. Unrestrained hate makes it impossible for a balanced community to be sustained.
What you’re looking for will be a site full of bots talking to each other, with the only human presence being hard core bigots.
Yep, but that’s not this idealised place the OP is looking for, where all opinions are to be found. It’s just full of hate and bots, giving a very narrow range of “free” speech

I suggest starting one as an experiment. You control it. See how long you can restrain yourself from wanting to delete something.

Doesn’t exist. Free speech is not applicable to private sites and communities which are protected by constitutional laws, not bound by them.
What you’re after is a website that has minimal to no moderation on political discourse. These tend not to exist because of the people they attract and the hot water the site owners can get into by the actions of those people.
Your best bet is 4chan.
Edit: Besides, it’d just be a slew of echo chamber vs echo chamber with few participants having an understanding or knowledge of politics—like, ‘what is free speech?’—beyond a philosophical top-layer, however everyone will see themself as an expert. This is 95% of online users that involve themselves in political topics, including most of Lemmy users.

What you’re looking for is the chat on my bootleg sports streaming websites, and I don’t really recommend that
Didn’t expect such a real answer.
The legit app I pay real money for was non-functional yesterday so I sailed the seas for a stream of Mexico v Ecuador and made the mistake of glancing at the chat as I went to mute the annoying “pop” sound from each new post. Sweet bebe jeebus that was a horrible half second.
If you’re having problems finding a place to say what you have to say, then perhaps you just shouldn’t say it at all

Look at X and the cesspool it has become since moderation stopped.
