Scammers and disinformation spreaders especially.

I don't know how you can claim this.

The unpoliced proliferation of absolute horseshit, buried under an insurmountable pile of "verification" checkmark replies, is a form of censorship in my opinion.

Mastodon has that place though. You're able to have your own node and nobody can censor you as long as they don't take down your internet connection. There are also existing communities with very few restrictions, if any.
