It doesn't work at all, you can deplatform somebody from a few platforms but there will always be another platform no matter what you do. It doesn't stop them and just makes them way more radical than before.

If you truly want to get somebody quote on quote "deplatformed" then you would need to actually convince people not to support them because if there is a platform that they can escape to (which there always is), their supporters are going to support them there.

Not to mention alt-accounts. Nothing stops them from just making a new account, even if there is an IP ban or a browser ban, they can just use a VPN and reset cookies, they never really go away, like a mosquito that keeps coming back, deplatforming is basically the hand swatting of the mosquito, it just comes back again.

Not to mention deplatforming isn't a good thing anyway, if somebody did something truly horrible enough they would be in jail, alternatively if it's something that they said that offends you well then tough-luck, in the real world you will have disagreements and you won't be able to just report them in real life because they "hurt your feelings".
