The problem is that Reddit doesn't delete trolls, specifically "noise comments". "Fucking Nigger", "Die cunt", "Whore" - all those drive by one-liner low effort insults should just be deleted from the get go. It's not censorship, it's about reducing noise that serves absolutely no beneficial purpose to anyone. Reddit is a private site. God knows the Admins are heavy handed enough when they want to be. But they leave so much other shit up and for so long. The reality is that there isn't 100% "free speech" on Reddit. There isn't anywhere.
