Alexis Ohanian himself is not quite calling the shot these days. New management has said in exact words that reddit is not meant to be a "free speech platform"[0]. And that's exactly why people are angry: the community built reddit on a premise that was suddenly changed.

Anyway, the less social media, the more time left to focus on important things...

There is a difference between the internal vibe of the company and statements by the current CEO. One has to say things that make the company money; the other is the true reality of what drives it.

The "free speech platform" notion is alive and well with Reddit, both in the community and in the people working to support it.

Alexis may not be calling the shots, but you can be sure that people are still keeping his vision alive.
