"Unfiltered" free speech may drive away users and create an echo chamber. "Censored" but mostly open speech site may allow users to come who might agree with more filtered views, and then start to believe in unfiltered views.
there may be a place for either or both approaches. like arete doing whatever while scored allows less of whatever. or a site that filters commie or pro abortion posts as another alternative.
for example the "free speech" discussions site had a problem with people posting fecal pornography. I imagine that would drive away tons of regular people if it was "uncensored" posted everywhere on a site that was trying to cater to normies.

And I’m all for that. I don’t believe in “unfiltered” anything, because that’s how you get tens of thousands of bots to control the narrative. The censorship that must be applied is to anything known to not be true.
