You hit on an important point here. Regardless of your ethical opinion on current event, deplatforming/censorship/banning/etc... is going to push more and more people to communicate on more anonymouse p2p censorship resistant platforms, and 10 years from now, those might be the standard.
For that reason, a P2P Twitter-type platform where accounts couldn't be removed would be potentially very dangerous.
I would rather try to deal with free speech by looking at personalisation and filter bubbles, perhaps mandating some kind of diversity gets baked into algorithms, which seems to lie at the root of the issue (that and economic inequality).
