/r/all isn't actually /r/all either. Seems the busiest subs don't follow the rules and have self-censored.

it's curation of content...I had a few comments about that exchanged with owners b4. Admins should never limit exposure to content that follows rules. That's real free speech, real exchange of ideas ,when everyone can pick for themselves out of things genuinely most popular...But

i don't wanna bother the admins with this shit no more. If they feel like curating, they feel like curating

They can go to notabug.io if they just want free speech.

I look at it like the mods of these subs have opted out free speech and the exchange of ideas, in favor of a safe space. I think we'd all prefer if they weren't ban happy redditors. The power mod issue is one of the main reddit problems. Maybe there are better ways to tackle it.

I actually agree with the system they have. I don't want 'all' to be full of toxic communities that ban any newcomer for (often unknowingly) challenging their narrative. If I see a topic on all that interests me I'd like to contribute even if it goes against the grain of that sub, simple as. The alternative is a front page in which half the discussions are off limits to me, and I have to start filtering them like on reddit. My only problem is that the self-censoring makes discovery of niche subs more difficult.
