I was drawn to reddit in the early days for the uncensored and open pics, gifs of the arab spring horrors. I stayed with the promise of free speech, though I did welcome the clamping down on hate, anti lgbt+, and similar.

The thing is free speech should apply to all opinions, not just those you don't like. There are hate speech laws on the books but the bar is set high and it's done for good reasons. If someone incites violence or makes threats then they should be prosecuted. But being offensive does not meet the bar of hate speech.
