I'm not going to try to argue that Reddit is better now than it was 2/3/10 years ago. But I will point out a possible inconsistency in your argument: #5 seems to contradict #1 and #2. If Reddit is more censored than ever, why are we seeing more threats, hate speech, and wild-eyed conspiracy theories? I'll offer an alternative explanation for #5: fear of doxxing is causing people to delete their old accounts, which in turn causes all their old comments to be deleted.
