Sure reddit isn't the entire Internet, but it's definitely one of the bigger spots. If all of the big players follow the same narrative on what's acceptable, then those with a dissenting opinion will find themselves effectively censored entirely. With this precedent in place, the gradual adjustment of what's deemed tolerable will quietly shift. One day you will find yourself impacted by it, or you will simply never have had an original non-sanctioned opinion in the first place.
