I didn't say it is the bastion of free speech but it's much better than whatever Facebook is. 2 reasons: 1. Reddit does not usually participate in censorship itself. It's extremely rare for reddit accounts to be banned on the whole or for users to be banned from creating communities for like minded people. 2. Reddit allows you to create your custom feed. You could sort by new, you could create your own community, you could post opinions only on your account and reddit would not care. This is very different from how Facebook acts. The facebook algorithm is very biased, has checks for several trigger words and gradually profiles your political side and starts getting stricter as time passes. In my last 1-3 years on Facebook, I was been banned for at least 6 times and no I'm not a political person. I was banned for either posting an image that facebook algorithm didn't approve of, opinion on tech that somebody else attacked me for or in general, not being the person facebook ideologically asked me to be.
