Isn’t this just more evidence that leftism/liberalism require censorship to exist, as they cannot survive in a free market of ideas?

They said those platforms are just as censored, except in favor of the other side.

No, it's evidence that people who claim to believe in a free market of ideas rarely do in practice.

Liberalism is the free market of ideas. It is pretty distant from leftism and should not be conflated.

In the free speech days of Reddit there was all sorts of lefty content that did just fine in the presence of all the right wing stuff, so it's definately not not true. But the strange part is that a lot of people on the left implicitly think that it is true. They will never admit that to themselves, though.
