You want a place that allows all speech, but is moderated?
And you want to force search engines you index you?
I'm not sure that this request is terribly coherent.

#23I actually have a system designed that would fit your desired attributes exactly. I don't know when I'll get to building it, but I do believe what you want is achievable. But that's all I can say, because when it comes to something like this, inventing the system is half the battle.

#25“Freedom of speech?” You keep using that expression… I don’t think it means what you think it means.

Everyone has limits.

#28I'm having trouble even understanding the question, because I think your usage of "free speech" means something different than is normally intended. Free expression and free will always have an implied caveat, like "free will except where it impedes that of another". Free speech is always going to have a Venn diagram with "behavior", some of which is illegal. So if you're asking where you can go do illegal stuff, tha…
The problem is that what is legal should not be decided by social media platforms or their users but by the law & the courts. But most often this is not the case.. maybe the OP is addressing this issue.

#30What is your definition of free speech?
Another question - why do you personally need free speech?
