I find it hard to reconcile "reddit is hostile to things like crypto" and "I don't believe in censorship". If you don't believe in censorship, then you should celebrate redditors free-expression of hostility to crypto. Your post to me reads of someone who wishes to limit the free speech of crypto critics to create a crypto-safe-space.

Turns out, free speech is hard when people have opinions you personally disagree with.

Here's the next thing that's hard to accept: all of the best discussion forums you can think of have aggressive moderation, and likely you don't even notice it 99% of the time. Community requires moderation, moderation is another word for censorship. I personally do not believe culture and community can even exist without restrictions.

Personally, and while I may be downvoted for expressing this opinion: I won't share a forum with the far right. There are many, many folks like me. If your reddit clone is "reddit except we let the far right do what they want unlike reddit" then you just made voat or truthsocial or many other clones, and feel free to see how those went.
