If you’re still on those platforms, why would less censorship be the hill to die on?
It's always good to leave them. It's always good to remind and enable people to do so.
Sure, but why would less interference from the CIA or Mossad executives at fb be an incentive?
"It's always good to remind and enable people to do so."
Its less censorship AND an allowance of actual hate speech.

Ehh. While I don’t support Meta’s real name policy, with it being paired with this, I somewhat support allowing these people to put themselves. Let them face the societal consequences of hate speech.
It still has a real impact on the people being harmed. I dont know if bullies getting social consequences for their actions outweighs the pain they have already inflicted.
That said, hopefully better information dissemination will help anyone being targeted to find better places where bullies are defederated/moderated for being shitty humans rather than based on shareholder value and kissing the ring of a dictator.
