I think reddit is being deliberately run down by military intelligence because they see open discussion amongst so many millions of users a threat to rule by the oligarchy they support. For that reason they install their own mod teams who arbitrarily censor everything and everyone knowing such toxicity will run everyone off break up the entire platform.

You can go to pretty much any sub on reddit and find the mod teams have no interest in the sub topic at all. Their only purpose is censorship. That is in direct contradiction to the original reddit premise of individuals creating subs to build communities that share their own interests and pastimes.

I sometimes wonder how it still seems there are a lot of based comments on reddit if you sort by controversial, when I got banned many times for comments that are a lot more benign, it could be they let some go on purpose from bots designed to be based in order to get people to think it's ok to talk freely and then get banned for their true thoughts, because like you said they want to deliberately run it down and make people afraid to talk freely on the internet. I'm still on reddit with other names but I watch what I say and just use it to talk about stuff that doesn't matter much like my hobbies, not politics and things like that.

There's some degree of tolerance, albeit while walking a fine line and being held to a far higher standard if you're not on the left. I used to post at KotakuInAction, but quit that and Reddit when it became clear that being on Reddit was like sharing a home with your abuser, hoping if you behave yourself that tonight they'll drink themselves to sleep without first beating you.

There's just no point in putting in the time to build a community that can at any moment be wiped away for transgressing the party. That said, I wouldn't discouraging people from engaging over at Reddit. There's some value in engaging reasonably where normal people can see that the supposed Nazis are actually normal people whose views were perfectly fine barely a decade ago.
