Sure, it has a conservative cast, like the New Yorker has a liberal cast. Although I'd argue that it's more libertarian than conservative most of the time; for instance, I don't think I'd ever see Breitbart publish a defense of polyamory, which Quillette did last week.
On the other hand, being forced to Gab/Quillette means these people get far less mainstream exposure. Furthermore, those on the path to radicalization often see the true spirit of the ideology when the leaders move to more extremist-accepting platform and are able to reject the beliefs.
When reddit banned /r/fatpeoplehate the problem moved around for a little bit, but it promptly died. Or when the white nationalists were forced to move to Voat, their numbers dwindled.

I don't buy this. Do you have any actual evidence for this?
That study shows that bigots didn't move from r/fatpeoplehate and r/CoonTown to other subreddits.
That study does not show that bigots simply disappeared or became less bigoted. Nothing in that paper indicates that the bigots didn't simply move to other online communities (i.e. Voat), or take their bigoted conversations offline.
They will publish anything well-argued.
