Don't know why your comment is being voted down. It's been known that the Reddit administrators will delete any and everything criticizing tumblr-esque sjw. It's been a long time coming but the mental image I had of Reddit was tarnished.

Ideal world: Reddit admins would only delete things that are illegal according to the local laws where their servers are located. Then they would only focus on making sure the platform works and leave the content policing to moderators of individual subreddits.

And yet there are tons of those subs around, how's thar work?
It's almost like that's a made up fantasy?
Caught in a landslide, no escape to reality
Nonsense, there are loads of those subreddits around.

Reddit bans doxxing, which I think is protected speech in USA, because it can be used to out people who run bigoted subreddits.

Your because is misplaced. Reddit bans doxing because of how often it is something they wouldn't want to be associated with. They do it to protect their image, not to protect some particular group of users.

(I agree that the ban happens to protect those users, I find it highly unlikely that this is a motivation for it)
