X is the most mainstream online community for free speech. It has wildly free speech

Nope!

Looooong list at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_by_Twitter.

Like when they banned posting the word Substack or linking to websites in your profile under Musk for a while. And @elonjet is still banned, despite an explicit promise not to.

All of those topics can be found other places if you look, then it updates your algorithm. I mean vaccine skepticism? Youtube and instagram have a million videos

No online platform has free speech. No online platform should have free speech. Besides, free speech is a constitutional / legal thing, a platform does not need to host it.

Claiming Twitter has free speech (as in absolutist, as in you can say what you want and won't get banned) means you've drunk the kool-aid / accepted the propaganda.
