If everyone hates censorship so much, why do those “censorship-free” alternative social media sites always fail?

Because you’re confusing two different things.
I hate censorship. That is, I think the government has no place controlling what people say, read, express, or create, except insofar as is necessary to prevent things like terroristic threats, dissemination of classified information, fraud, false advertising, and so on.
“Censorship-free” social media sites quickly become Nazi bars where people exchange child porn. Normal human beings don’t hang out in Nazi bars with pedophiles.

Why do “censorship-free” social media networks always fail? Well, let’s see. Sit down and think. Think really, really hard.
The #1 problem people who make and consume child pornography have is connecting the producers with the buyers. Any “censorship-free” network quickly gets overrun with child porn. Classic example: 8kun.

So.
That has nothing to do with social media.
You have the right to say what you want. You do not have the right to use other people’s stuff for free.

Child pornographers.
Are you going to stay on a social media site that’s all photos of babies being raped, Nazis posting graphic descriptions of finishing what Hitler started, and plans for school shootings?

Who is the #1 user of completely free digital communications networks that let you say absolutely anything? Who most wants that?
Who is the #2 user of completely free digital communications networks that let you say absolutely anything? Who else wants that?
Now, say you’re an ordinary person. You don’t like child porn. You’re not a Nazi. You don’t want to shoot up a school or blow up the White House.
