This is media dependent. Social media is not made up of public sponsored platforms but are private venues not subject to American First Amendment guarantees. It's the difference between looking to hold public discourse on someone's front yard as opposed on the public supported side walk. One's allowed, the other isn't. And certainly right-wing social media had edited left-wing speech just as much, it really has been a two-way deal. Try to be a liberal poster on Reddit's /r/Conservative "echo chamber", for instance. Yea, I have the perma-ban just for asking a quaint question.
Note: UJR is also a private social platform and you have no 1A rights here. If it so tickled me, who is the owner of this board, to do so, I could ban every single member here that I perceive to be a contard. Cheezy: "see ya!" I would not of course ever entertain such a thought, and for that, every member of this board should kiss my ring.

Silly reasoning. Twitter/FB have become so large that its now considered part of the public square. As much as I love this place, its not quite on that level

"Considered" is not the same is "is". Despite the fact we use so much Internet almost as a public utility, it's still a private service that you have to pay for and can be easily taken away from you by the provider. And as someone who a while back was for some inexplicable reason banned from FB and can't make a new account there, FB is certainly no "public sqaure."

its weird how middle of the road and level headed you perceive yourself and yet you get banned every where you go to post.
