Nobody's willing to pay for the access to use the product and if you want to be the free speech wing of the free speech blah blah them you're going to get popular backlash from people and most notably potential advertisers dollars. I feel like investors have lived through too many years of bad #metoo publicity to turn a blind eye and advertise on platforms with toxic (for many people) content. If you don't charge users and you can't get the high margin ad revenues, who's supporting your unicorn company that just may luck out and dislodge a small segment of the social media landscapes?
