New social media platforms can't become large unless they collaborate with existing power structures. When they collaborate with existing power structures they begin censoring. The whole system is rigged to funnel human communication en masse into censorship by the powerful.
You hear free market types saying if people don't like big tech censorship they should just start their own social media corporation to compete with it. People have tried that, and always failed, because they don't collaborate with existing power structures. It doesn't work.
There is no free market solution to the problem of internet censorship, because monopolistic tech companies which funnel all online communication into themselves are much too valuable to the powerful. They're not going to let competitors just take away their most prized assets.
Which means what exactly? You've got a small fringe platform that nobody in the mainstream ever uses. Elites don't care about that. They're happy for dissident ideas to be quarantined in obscure fringe platforms that everyone ignores.
