Reddit is one of the few remaining platforms where reach is determined democratically. You demean that populous by calling it the singular "reddit", as if it's a single hive mind. But you'll probably get your way, I imagine the billionaire censorship campaign will come for it too eventually. Then you'll only ever get to hear thoughts you agree with, glorious day ey?

Reddit is the most censored platform out there… posts and users that are not aligned with subreddit mods get banned or deleted prolifically. Subreddits that do not align similarly soon find themselves banned

Idk if many people remember how Reddit was when it started, its whole draw was that it was a bunch of relatively intelligent/friendly western internet people who liked to kinda role play as a hive mind.

I wouldn't call it the most censored platform, but it still has vestiges of its old self, particularly with respect to philosophy and politics.

Subreddits get banned for egregious shit. Reddit stays on the side of letting subs up, rather than banning.

Reddit has made it harder for mods to find out which subs you are active in, so that you can’t be banned for activity in subs that are in cold wars with each other.

Nonsurprisingly, their leniency exists in a cycle that depends on who's in power in the US government.

Reddit is one of the most, if not the most astroturfed and botted platform on the internet today.

It's a problem but I don't believe it's worse than X or Instagram or Facebook. I'll prefer human filters over biased algorithms every time.
