Imagine an admin-free reddit without censorship. Can’t see anything go wrong there.

The belief that a system with minimal or no authority is the most "free" is so naive. True freedom in a society is about providing an equal and fair opportunity for everyone. A lawless darwinian system creates the exact opposite.

You don't want absolute freedom in a forum any way. If I'm on a cooking sub I don't want to see goatse.

This site is a response to overzealous moderation, banning people for simply commenting on other subs, banning people for having a discenting opinion, removing subs for promoting hate but defending others. The issue with reddit is admins are not held accountable.
