It's because when you have a new platform, a lot of your first users will be the worst kinds of people to exist on the internet. It's why """free speech absolutist""" spaces quickly devolve into nazi hellscapes that repel all but the most equally toxic and revolting people unless they cut their claim to absolute free speech.

Yeah, any 'free speech absolutist' platform turns into a Nazi fascist bigot safe space because they refuse to moderate the platform
