Ok there's enough samphappalāpā in this thread let me try a real answer.
You're not looking for a platform. Platforms aren't a necessary part of the internet, ask a millenial. They were created after the internet to add extra features like addictiveness and censorship.
What you want is a thing called a website
This requires hosting and a domain name
Some hosting services (e.g. GoDaddy) will impose censorship on you too. For example, they may remove content that is copyrighted in the USA.
njal.la is a pretty libertarian third-party host. Or you could host yourself; there is a Lemmy community about how to do that.
You have the option of writing HTML yourself or using a Content Management System
Good luck
I miss websites, like, the "under construction"-gif era websites about medieval swords or tv-show fandoms or such.
platforms are a fuk
