Just a small anecdote, one of the first times Reddit did a mass banning of subreddits there was a public outcry that to me, uninformed at the time, seemed reasonable. The creators of Voat assured they'd never adopt such a policy. If you know anything about Voat's history, you know how it ended up. I couldn't just ignore the slurs on the front page of the website. Back on Reddit, the mythical day where they came for the things I love would never come. Ever since, I've found free speech is much easier for websites than people pretend. By removing bad posts, the only lasting implication is discouraging more bad posts. Easy.
