Honestly speaking, freedom of speech is practically non-existent on reddit. How else do you explain automated bans, or mods getting triggered over the smallest things? You are not allowed to think or speak freely, critical thinking is virtually zero.
Was literally just banned without notification or Email by the new AI, coincidentally shortly after a post about Lemmy & the Fediverse ;)
Runaway negative feedback loop. When you chase away all the good people from your clubhouse, you poison the social aspect, you have trouble getting new upstanding members. Doubly an issue when the clubhouse is run by the members.
I've never seen freedom of speech there in over ten years. Quite the opposite.
Same.
Whenever I brought up freedom of speech, the reddit mods would mock me with "freeze peach." Many of the mods and admins are overtly hostile to free speech and hate democracy.
Ironic, because democracy is what made reddit great once upon the time. I remember leaving digg to go to reddit precisely because I felt I had more control and more weight there as a commenter. And they took an axe to everything that was once great.
Needless to say I have been banned on reddit since a long time ago.
As a fellow banee the only thing I truly miss are the niche groups especially to do with menopause and women's health. The IP band thing just fucking sucks all over. But I've decided not to look there because I'm not giving them my eyeballs to make money off of
