> Reddit's censorship has gotten so bad I think it's a real societal risk considering how prevalent it is.

How is reddit anyhow relevant to society. And how would a corporation cleaning/sterilizing an online forum be a societal risk. Is society that fragile?

And how can it be censorship? At least in my jurisdiction protection against censorship and free speech laws regulate the state's behavior, not private people or corporations. Not sure how this is in the US, though.

I just don't understand why people calling the behavior of private entities censorship.

But as said, I very likely are missing something fundamental.
