Reddit has porn, but that’s not a convincing argument —- porn isn’t inimical to their ideological strictures.

Meanwhile, they absolutely forbid expressing common, mainstream political viewpoints that are inimical to their ideology.

Can you give an example of a mainstream view that is banned? I’m genuinely curious. I wonder if we will have different definitions of mainstream? It seems like a global audience of 5,000 might be mainstream and warrant a home according to some of the accounts here, whereas I would argue that this is still incredibly niche and these people might not expect to find anywhere in real life that would tolerate their speech either.

For example, “Six-in-ten U.S. adults say that whether a person is a man or a woman is determined by their sex assigned at birth.”
