There are many in the thread of Jewish faith asking it to be taken down, feeling that it promotes Holocaust denial /minimisation. If you read the horrendously uncaring Moderator sticky post dripping with sarcasm you get a good feel for the state of Reddit in 2020.

One problem with Reddit is that every major community experiences something akin to Channel Drift [1]. Like the subreddit you linked to (r/pics), they all become some version of r/politics-lite where the majority political view gets shoved into every possible sub-community, even where it's not relevant. It makes the default subreddits totally unusable imo. Sometimes I just want to see funny pictures, not be lectured to about why I'm a racist or how my unconscious biases blah blah blah.
