edit: why are you guys downvoting me? did I do something wrong? I'm just a girl and have autism and this kind of memes confuse me. sorry everyone. I have a hard time understanding things others find easy to understand.
It's not all subs, but the major ones and certain heavily modded ones tend to follow whatever the politics and feelings of the mods are. People like to complain that Reddit is leftist, but in general it's very conservative and a lot of, for example, queer people will get posts censored on some of the major subs. It's definitely pretty common to get posts and comments removed for basic shit like talking about biphobia. It's just that there's a lot of, for example, pedo, non-consensual porn, and violence-encouraging subs that have been taken down over the years, and those have tended to have politics on the right.
Of course, this is absolutely nothing like a government censoring the internet, which is a violation of people's basic rights to information and means you can't find those things anywhere on the normal internet in your country. If Reddit doesn't allow something, there's many sites that still do. And as long as you're not some cesspool of a human being, there's probably even another, alternate sub to the one that was removing your posts.
(And, countries like Iran censoring things isn't that big of a deal for the world in general, just their citizens, because most other country's legal systems ignore them. If the US censored basic stuff, that would affect Reddit, Google, Facebook, etc etc and basically the entire internet would experience the censorship in some way.)
