This is a fantasy. Reddit management has always paid lip service to "free speech at all costs", until reddit itself has to bear even the smallest of those costs at which point the principle is rapidly jettisoned. There are so many examples I don't even know where to start, from the perverted (jailbait) to the political (the_donald) to the offended zoomers (fatpeoplehate).
