We are mostly free to assemble or un-assemble. The government absolutely can "force you to assemble if you don't want to", and that underpins many civil rights and anti-discrimination laws.

There's no reason to believe we need to make "conspiratorial shitposter" a protected class. They seem to be doing fine.

That applies only when all participants are willing. The owner of private property such as a house, restaurant, or hosting service, is allowed to control who may access their property.
You are free to assemble with whoever you please.
You are also free to un-assemble, and nobody can force you to assemble if you don't want to.
It's the part of the 1st amendment that everyone forgets or willfully pretends doesn't exist because they want to force private parties to carry their hateful, bigoted messages.
Freedom!
