I think he meant: "we're a free speech site except that in no way are we a free speech site" Within a subreddit, you are at the whim of whatever mod wants to ban for any reason. Sure, the level of censorship varies between subreddits but it is explicitly allowed. Of course Reddit as a whole has no set policy... just a mechanism that ensures anyone with power can create whatever policy they want.

And anyone unhappy with the policies of a subreddit *can then create a new, identical subreddit but with different policies.* It's not reddit's fault if your new subreddit does not attract links and viewers.
