> Censoring alternative, conservative views is exactly why Trump became president.

I'm having a hard time telling from the link, but it seems that /u/spez censored personal insults directed at him, which, while still inexcuseable, is quite different from censoring merely alternative viewpoints.

That's probably not worse, but it's so incredibly petulant... I am not sure what it is about reddit that tends to attract such childish execs. First Yishan, now him.

I mean he created it, so it's not that crazy.

He censored a whole sub-reddit dedicated to the discussion of President Trump. That's taking it too far.
