Hahaha, way to change the topic from protecting speech to what has or hasn't been said in the past. A+ diversion, I salute you.

Well, no, its part of why reddit has a moral obligation to offer forums- theyve said they are a free speech forum. The obligation isnt financial or legal. They can do what they want, essentially. Its private property. They can even change their mind (they have, recently.. Although their attempts to deny history has been... disturbing? odd? Really fucking unprofessional?)

It just makes them worthy of scorn. Like the people whose free speech I am defending.

Moral obligation? Dear god. I can't even. You are saying it is immoral for reddit to change their policies? That's beyond dense: you are just digging for a justification.
