> People with more controversial ideas no longer want to contribute content to a website which censors difficult topic I'm sorry, but I just think this a horrible mis-characterization of what reddit does. I'd encourage people to go look at the list of communities that have actually been banned[1]. Every single community that was removed was removed for particular problematic behaviour, not for the difficulty of the topic. /r/fatpeoplehate wasn't banned for its views on fat people, it was banned because it was harassing the people that appeared on the sub-reddit. And take the counter example - /r/The_donald arguably has been involved in some real dodgy stuff including actively pushing pizzagate including the harassment of the businesses accused to be involved in it. Reddit has gone to extreme lengths to try not to ban it because of the cooling effect on discourse that would have.
