What if I'm specifically enforcing policies against a certain group but not against others? That would seem to have me pick a side. Platforms can technically do whatever they want in terms of censorship but at some point people are going to get pissed off about it.

That's the platforms agenda, like I said, are you mad Wal-Mart doesn't have porn and sex toys? And I agree, people are allowed to be mad about censorship and complain, like you are doing, it's good to have those conversations.

The analogy falls apart when Wal-Mart is the only store in existence. Then you can't just "make a new store" because it's impossible to compete. That's the point that we are at now. The major platforms are succeeding at stifling voices that they dislike and there are few or no alternatives. Saidit is still growing and has a high chance of dying out once the people banned from Reddit realize they don't need any social media.
