It was the censorship that drove me away from the few subreddits I used to browse.
Time and time again, users who posted very well-reasoned and insightful, but somewhat unorthodox, comments were banned. I looked forward to reading their comments, since they were at least thought-provoking, even if I didn't necessarily agree with what was said. But then power-hungry moderators would come along and permanently boot such users, often without any explanation or without any way to appeal such a ban. So I stopped visiting.
