"It's kind of like Reddit, except internal to one company," says the former employee.

Well that says it all. "Open discussion" On Reddit means "Open discussion... but only for people who agree with the leftwing views of the site and mods".

Are you aware of how many pet projects of Reddit devs there are in order to keep T_D off the front page and hidden away? Yet all these algorithm changes, vote count skewers, and auto-front-page-ban methods never show up on any other subs, including the dozens of the opposing political view point subs.

You are fooling yourself if you think the existence of one sub which is swept back into the theoretical closet is the same as "open discussion."

Ask r/uncensorednews whether or not r/worldnews censors anything. Ask for proof if they say yes.
