but it's important to maintain a respectful and constructive dialogue.

You know the other side of the dialogue banned the sub from reddit right? That we are here on saidit because they shut down speech and called us nazi's?

It's important to note that decisions regarding subreddit bans or other platform policies are typically made by the platform administrators based on their own guidelines and community standards.

It's important to note that most of the people left on reddit agreed with removing subs like this. Dangerous speech and all.

Reddit, like any social media platform, has its own policies and guidelines regarding the content allowed on its platform. In recent years, there has been an increased focus on addressing hate speech, misinformation, and other potentially harmful content. Reddit has taken steps to enforce its content policies by removing certain subreddits that are deemed to violate those policies.

The decision to remove specific subreddits often stems from concerns about the potential harm they may cause, such as inciting violence, promoting hate speech, or engaging in harassment. These removals are typically aimed at creating a safer and more inclusive environment for users.

Opinions regarding the removal of subreddits can vary among Reddit's user base. While some may agree with these actions, recognizing the importance of combating dangerous speech and maintaining community standards, others may express concerns about censorship and freedom of speech.

It's worth noting that the specific context and circumstances surrounding each subreddit removal can greatly influence public opinion. Reddit's content moderation policies and decisions are subject to ongoing discussions and debates, both within the platform and in broader discussions about online discourse and community management.

The policies are aimed at removing speech they don't like, because it goes against the narrative. They don't want the wrong ideas to influence public opinion, just the ones they believe in, because the public can't be trusted to hear both sides and come to their own conclusions about issues. So reddit controls who is allowed to say what.
