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
