Indeed, in many cases the takeaway is that the greater public just isn't interested in what these individuals are saying. If it were, the personal sites and small uncensored platforms you mention would be sought out by it, but with few exceptions that practically never happens. Even with platforms with the potential for limited/no content moderation like Mastodon, the bigger nodes with less polarized demographics tend to be those that moderate their content. It's almost impossible to build a healthy community on a platform where anything goes.

It's sad, but not surprising, to see a question about how two protocols compare answered with insinuations about "people who cry about censorship", who supposedly "love when people with opposing views get banned". Any discussion of censorship-resistant technology seems to attract people who just love censorship, and hate anyone who doesn't, and it's not enough for them to express these views in a top-level comment, they even have to spam specific discussions.
