  The r/btc subreddit started as a censorless (or perhaps less censored) community alternative to r/bitcoin, but eventually turned into it's own kind of toxic echo chamber when it became the defacto Bitcoin Cash community.

  It's sad that there is an ongoing dilution of the term "censorship" which is really referring to moderatorship of online forums.

    I would still call it censorship when you constantly violate the moderation rules you supposedly follow. Just look at their "no altcoin discussion rule". Altcoin discussion is allowed if it makes Bitcoin look good, but you'll get banned if you point out benefits of other coins over Bitcoin (or pointing out any flaws with Bitcoin at all). Or how discussion about the Lightning Network and the centralized sidechain Liquid is allowed and even encouraged, while discussion on a blocksize increase has been bannable for years. Even before Bitcoin forked discussion of full node clients such as Bitcoin XT, which followed all the rules of Bitcoin, were blocked because it was "an altcoin" (which is was not). Explaining away the countless of unjustly banned users with "moderation" is part of the problem.
