What are you referring to you when you talk about politically-based censorship? I was increasingly turned off by the growing racism, misogyny, and hate that I saw daily on Reddit, and am quite happy to see many of the most disgusting subreddits finally done away with. I suspect that for every free-speech absolutist worried about Reddit refusing to sanction such vitriol there are many more that will be happy to find a more inclusive, welcoming Reddit. I know I'm one of the latter.
