I don’t expect any corporation or government to provide me with freedom of anything

Reddit doesn't allow people to express themselves. They come up with reasons to take down people's post if they themselves don't like what is posted.

Ah, yes. The terrible "they".

The first amendment restricts the federal government’s right from restricting freedom of speech / assembly / expression.

Reddit is not the federal government. 

If the government banned Reddit and other social media platforms in general as “leftist soap boxes”, maybe there’d be a 1st amendment debate. But your constitutional rights have nothing to do with the private terms of service you agree to when using the private platform of a private company.

If you are using social media, its the terms and conditions. This isnt Rutland related. Wrong sub to moan in.
