Of course, Reddit has the right to fight for free speech while at the same time suppressing it on its own platform, or at least tolerating the suppression of a free discourse in the most popular subreddit. But doing so makes it seem reddit cares first and foremost about its own freedom, and less about freedom of speech in general. It also means reddit is a poor choice if you want to run a forum that leans conservative.

I’d argue this is true for most people, too. Which is fine. It is incumbent upon those users whose free speech Reddit impinges upon to rectify the situation, but bringing other users to support their cause or setting up a competitor. Either way, this is all orthogonal to the First Amendment concern of this case.
