Free Speech as a political principle is about relations between a state, and citizens, not a website, and its users. There are some gray-zone cases (e.g. formally private press/platforms can be heavily influenced by a ruling party using economic means, or for whatever reason some press/platform conglomerate controls market share so big it can influence gov't to legislate conditions harmful to potential competition), but it's definitely not about this site.

So I could have no ability to say anything at all, and still have free speech?

Yes. To test this, close the website and go and shout out of your window.

That sounds like an ability to say things.
