The free speech argument never held up for me because your average Redditor (ie not an admin or a mod) is just a pleb who has as little "rights" then as they do now. Where's the protection against censorship when the FPH mods banned everyone who didn't tow the "fuck fat people" line? Whatever change in policy the admins have in store strictly speaking only affects the way mods govern their subreddits. Mods can ban me from their subreddit on a whim and it's not like an admin is going to spend time monitoring my account and ban me because I called someone a faggot. So, really, this whole drama is just a power struggle between the admins and the mods. I really don't see why the plebs would care since they really don't have a stake in this either way. Except if you hate black people I guess.
