I don't see leftists compaining about free (leftist) speech on Reddit or 4chan, for some reason the free speech is only problematic on twitter

They don't have the scale to sway large parts of the public opinion, so they are irrelevant. Also, what you call "left" might simply be the truth, and it's very hard to fight against that.
For an example of toxic ideological delusion in the left camp you can see the harm done to adolescents by the gender nuts, it's absolutely out of control on Reddit and there will be reckoning day with its many victims.

Reddit's usage is heavily oriented toward silos though, being the subreddits that people subscribe to, and the most controversial are excluded from the All feed.
It doesn't have the same dynamics as Facebook and Twitter in terms of how posts/tweets/ideas get spread out all over the network.

But modern post-modern leftism is subjectivist, relativist and does not believe that an objective "the truth" exist - hence if leftism is the truth, leftism is wrong.
