Similarly, I have a problem with alt-news that prefer to sit behind the walls of their own media silo. Open protocols exist, and have for over ten years. "Free speech platforms" strike me as a psy-op.

Who is behind any news sources? When Bezos bought the Washington Post they stopped criticizing him. To this day Jamal Khashoggi’s family have no justice over his death. I think the key is to have a variety of news sources and never trust any of them fully.
