Censorship resistance is not the same thing as free speech - those are quite different concepts. Free speech doesn't really apply on Stacker News.
For censorship resistance on SN, there are couple things that could be done:
- Decentralize, e.g.
- allow running instance of SN on your own machine/domain (e.g. imagine this could be app on Umbrel)
- run a mirror on another domain hosted in a different country (e.g. Switzerland or Iceland)
- provide API and allow creation of standalone apps
- Add a Warrant Canary on SN
- Ideally with checkmarks for all countries (so when a warrant comes from a specific country, the checkmark would expire)
- Add onion address for SN
- Allow expiring content (could be similar to 4chan, that's how it gets around censorship...)
- Block reading until users puts in some sats (i.e. censorship resistance by obscurity)
- Allow users marking inappropriate content/spam (after defining such content)
- Provide all SN content over RSS and as data dumps (and host mirrors for the data dumps, or put on torrents)
- Create a backup git repo, e.g. on gitlab
- Create connections with stackers outside of Stacker News to have alternative communication channels
- Start hashing content and provide ways for individuals to check whether content has been modified

You don't need a DAO. Simply run the site through a Tor hidden service, and optionally use a custom DNS resolver (or roll your own).

easiest way to avoid censorship is to allow the community to upvote and downvote. decentralization of a centralized website is antithetical

People still don't understand the meaning of "free speech"....
Free speech is to protect individuals from a tyrannical government.
Have absolutely nothing to do with a private entity.
If you are an employee in a private company and you say to your boss that is a jerk, he have the right to fire you.

there's a steady push to redefine The First Amendment as "free speech". Those things are related, but 1st goes much farther than merely acknowledging that humans have a god-given right to speak their mind, it explicitly restricts the Government from specific behaviors that would infringe on the establishment or practice of religion, etc... :

Free speech is not just a legal framework, its a principle. When people are talking about free speech on Twitter, they're talking about the general principle. Not just the first amendment.
Secondly, I would argue that any entity that takes funding from the government and/or lobbies for laws that enforces its monopoly should be subject to the first amendment.

first, second, third amendments are only for those US people that declare themselves "citizens".
A sovereign individual doesn't give a shit about any "legal framework" because that will not apply to a sovereign.
A sovereign individual will say whatever wants to say, anytime, as far is respecting the Natural Law. All the rest is just bullshit crap.

100%
Property rights, freedom of speech, the right to bear arms. All of these are natural rights. Doesn't matter whether a government enumerates them or not. You have them regardless. If a government tries to take them away, you have every right to leave and/or defend your rights.
