no it isn't
Yes it is. lol

Do you know what "banned" means? it means prohibited it in 2015
That doesn't means its a right wing platform
_____________________________
Reddit (/ˈrɛdɪt/, stylized in its logo as reddit) is an American social news aggregation, web content rating, and discussion website. Registered members submit content to the site such as links, text posts, and images, which are then voted up or down by other members. Posts are organized by subject into user-created boards called "subreddits",
In February 2017, Reddit banned the alt-right subreddit (/r/altright) for violating its terms of service, more specifically for attempting to share personal information about the man who attacked alt-right figure Richard B. Spencer.[280][281] The forum's users and moderators accused Reddit administrators of having political motivations for the ban

Posts are created by users
It's like youtube
People who are for instance, white supremacist, black supremacist, or any number of controversial groups
Then the site owners have to decide how much freedom of speech they will allow or not allow
It doesn't mean they agree with the opinions
These social media platforms have a wide diversity of opinion. It's freedom of speech
Unless people advocate doing violence or are spreading certain types of false data or other violations of their rules.
If you take away freedom of speech you give power to one point of view
By your standards Egyptsearch has been a racist platform until recently since racists have been allowed to post for years

quote: I became part of the alt-right at age 13, thanks to Reddit and Google
An anonymous teenager writes about his brief infatuation with the alt-right, which made him critical of how big tech platforms influence the way we think.
quote:"Users of a Major Online Trump Hub Expect They’ll Be Kicked off Reddit—and They Don’t Know Where to Go"
The community is very active, with over 774,000 members, and it boasts that memes created for or spread on the board have been reposted by President Trump and his son Donald Trump Jr. As perhaps the closest thing the online Trump political universe has to a hub, the subreddit offers a distilled version of the president’s most toxic, troll-prone supporters, whose habits of regularly posting noxious, violent, and racist content ended up earning the board its quarantine. This spring, The_Donald users posted bigoted content condoning violence against Muslims following the Christchurch shootings, and, during a GOP walkout from Oregon’s state senate, again advocated for violence."
Not every Trump supporter is racist, but every racist supports Trump.
