The reason I come to reddit is because of the openess and freedom.
Really what

Right? I come to Reddit to talk shit to people who disagree with me. Not really, I enjoy some of the content and the conversations, though.
And it's a private platform, advertisers probably *don't* like some of that shit, some of it was pretty goddamn degrading. Is it Reddit's place to police that? Well, I dunno, that's a debate to be had, but if not Reddit, then who? They're not holding guns to anyone's head, there are already alternatives and if they're not openly political about their bans... I think it will be fine.
I'd have probably done the same years ago, if I managed Reddit, because I'm a filthy capitalist and want that delicious ad revenue. The only thing that will offer honest free exchange of ideas is decentralized web hosting.
