One is illegal, the other is not.
and does that word mean anything in this context?
No. Nothing reddit is doing is illegal. When you sign up for a service like reddit, there is a TOS, which allows them to ban, warn, limit interaction, etc, at their discretion when terms of their TOS are violated.
If their TOS doesn't allow pictures of butterflies, and you post pictures of butterflies, you will receive a warning. Continue posting butterflies, you'll get banned, until eventually receiving a permaban. There is absolutely nothing illegal about it, because their TOS specifically states no butterfly pictures.

People get mad over government censorship, but condone corporate censorship if it's something they want censored.

I'm gonna buy a Luigi board to ask the guidance of Aaron Schwartz because I'm sure he is dying to get revenge
Yeah I got signaled on reddit for saying something about Trump, Elon and Vance regarding to Ukraine. Nothing that hasn't been said, but I said they can fuck off and stop propping Russian imperialism and kidnapping children while commiting warcrimes. Guess Reddit is against that as they removed my comment and gave me a warning.
Also biased admins, there are places that are manipulated for disinformation purposes. It is kind of scary, when the sceptical view point gets deleted or thread blocked for no other reason than harming their often made up narrative.
Edit. Thread blocked as in you are blocked from posting and they can have a last rotten cherry on top

First the removesort by controversial, and then you can't even see controversial posts. Soon there will be no conflicting opinions, just a hive mind echo chamber.
fuck reddit
you know it's bad when ohanian and rose have gotten together to make a new digg
Spez has gone so far beyond being a mere cuck. He's a goddamn cuckasauras.

I'm glad that I don't use Reddit and have no intention on doing so. I remember there was a very talented artist who was wrongfully accused of using AI and banned on the art subreddit. That artist got banned even though receipts were shown to the mods proving the art was not AI, and I guess with this policy, I'd be at risk of being banned from Reddit altogether because I for sure would've upvoted the art if I did have a Reddit account, it was amazing.
Oh no! Anyways…
Perma banned because I wished c-ncer on a pro-Israel troll. Is that an earned ban you guys think?
I wished cancer on plenty pro putinist, pro stalinist, pro genocide pieces of shit and got permad as well.
I have so much free time now.
Hell, I said all Nazis can go die or kill themselves. Perm banned. Reason why I'm here. Fuck that place.
... But all Nazis can go die or kill themselves.
100% agree. I can even help if they want!

I got banned when I saw someone say trans kids should be hunted in schools, and I told them I wish they'd get hit with a brick.
I got banned for making fun of Kemi Badenoch when she said autistic people are privileged. I said maybe she's jealous that there are people that know more about trains than her. That was apparently enough to warrant a permanent ban.
