They rewrite history, I don't believe in yesterday

I'm definitely not denying the Holodomor or any of Stalin's crimes. But unfortunately some of the people who are most adamant about spreading information about the Holdomor are not doing so to spread information about the atrocity, but rather to spread their own anti-semitic propaganda. u/soccer was a moderator of r/911truth and, according to archived versions of their user page, posted quite a lot of links to "Israe…
I'm going to take your claims at face value. Let's say this is all 100% correct. Maybe then the prudent action is not to ban a subreddit that is a valid topic, but instead to ban users who have a history of behavior that's not acceptable? In fact, Reddit does ban users including u/soccer. To conflate r/911truth and r/Holodomor isn't fully honest. Edit: Meanwhile this exists - http://reddit.com/r/stalindidnothingwrong
That Stalin sub's creator and sole moderator is already banned btw, so I'm pretty sure they just missed banning the sub or something. And it hasn't had any activity in 7 months so at least it's not active.

Chapo.chat is a popular one for leftists that formed after the chapo subreddits were censored/banned a couple months ago. Fair warning: most HN users aren't going to like it because they advocate for things like food and shelter and healthcare for everyone, no matter what
Most HN users aren't going to like it because it is for far-left "tankies" that promote violence. One of the top posts right now is: >Some people deserve their heads to be displayed on spikes

But that may have well just been the first incident where he was caught red handed. Who knows how many other incidents he got away with? I have no faith in the integrity of reddit administration, especially Spez. The fact that he wasn't fired immediately means reddit staff does not take these issues seriously.
Again, you say "caught red handed" like it was something he was doing secretly. What he did was change every instance of "fuck /u/spez" to "fuck the /r/the_donald mods". He did this because he lost patience in the face of mass online harassment. He immediately apologized. I just wanted to make clear to anybody passing by - who wants to know what actually happened - that the narrative you are pushing is not supported…

I don't know what you mean by "the narrative you are pushing". The only narrative is that the CEO of reddit did something that seriously caused me to lose faith in the site and went completely unpunished. You may feel that the event was inconsequential, but not everyone feels the same.

To be fair, that posting is largely tongue in cheek because they're bitter for getting banned on reddit under the false pretense of violence. I'm sure a couple people believe it unironically but no one is actually organizing to hurt anyone.
It was pretty real

A lot of people in the corporate sphere have no idea what's going on outside of their bubble. Society is falling apart. Morals are essential to the functioning of society.
I'm afraid you come across as insane.
"The real hopeless victims of mental illness are to be found among those who appear to be most normal. Many of them are normal because they are so well adjusted to our mode of existence, because their human voice has been silenced so early in their lives, that they do not even struggle or suffer or develop symptoms as the neurotic does. They are normal not in what may be called the absolute sense of the word; they are normal only in relation to a profoundly abnormal society. Their perfect adjustment to that abnormal society is a measure of their mental sickness. These millions of abnormally normal people, living without fuss in a society to which, if they were fully human beings, they ought not to be adjusted." - Aldous Huxley
Just the one question: alternatives? Not necessarily already established and crowded platform, but also free and open, privacy friendly ones that can be slowly brought to self sustaining levels by enthusiasts, so that they can attract normal users.

Some users migrated to alternatives when reddit began mass-banning subs for the first time. All turned into cesspools full of nazis and fascists focused almost exclusively on hate speech, or died due to inactivity.
