I wouldn't call any discussion where wrongthink gets you excluded to be open.
With Reddit's voting mechanism there's really no great need to censor anything unpopular since the system fudges consensus and anything that even the slightest subset of users finds disagreeable winds up downvoted into oblivion unless there's an equally large subset voting for it.

It's a valid statement yet provides no insight into whether those boundaries are the same or even of the same category. Would you support Reddit, as an American company, setting its boundaries for speech to the same limits as American law? I doubt it.
