I disagree. Keep using reddit, twitter, and youtube, and spread the messages you were before, for these reasons:

1) If you stop using them, you're censoring yourself worse than they can censor you. You're preventing your message from reaching the mainstream.

2) If these platforms didn't see us as a problem for them, they wouldn't be trying to ban us.

3) Using a free platform isn't the same as buying a product or service. By using these websites and blocking their ads, you are actually draining their resources rather than helping them.

I've been thinking about that lately. I feel obligated to participate here, that part is easy. But I also feel obligated to not be silenced, to make my voice heard to those who disagree, even if it's a struggle. I feel like cutting ties but sometimes I wonder if it's the smart thing.

I will only address the first point. I don't think that is true. I think they will self destruct and see that the way to success would've been allowing all opinions, not just some. Just my take.
