"Republicans feel that Social Media Platforms totally silence conservatives voices"

Reddit is the best example of that. I don't want to defend him but look at every single news and politics related sub from /r/news, /r/worldnews, /r/politics etc.

But that happens here too. Honestly I blame the upvote downvote system more. Reddit and HN are both really wrong with it

Reddit literally censors the actual Donald Trump campaign subreddit: it's hidden behind a scary warning screen and demonetized https://old.reddit.com/r/The_Donald . Hilarious. They don't even pretend to be unbiased or to care about their userbase that's equally on both sides of the political spectrum.

I don't believe the Donald Trump campaign has officially recognized that subreddit as being a part of their campaign...

but they also did the same quarantine to r/Chapo_Traphouse, a leftist podcast subreddit, so I'm not sure why you think it's not equal. Did you not know about Chapo being quarantined?
