    “Reddit bans sexually suggestive images of children” that was in 2012. They were still cool with doxing on alt-right subs up until 2017. Were there overzealous mods in 2015? I’m sure there were, but as a whole, Reddit as a platform has historically allowed for an awful lot of shit in the name of free speech.

    Admin-led bans were for a minority of things. “Jailbait” bans were admin required. Doxing bans were admin required. Now… Pro-Luigi bans are admin required. Bans when posting about protests being admin required is another step that seeks to alienate the userbase, IMO.
