The subreddit mods in r/politics are doing more harm than good for free speech

I got banned from r/politics last week for posting a link to a city council meeting transcript in Toledo. The mod said it was 'misleading' but it was just the raw minutes from their public records. Three years ago I saw the same sub let a clearly fake quote from a senator stay up for 12 hours before removal. If we want real free speech, shouldn't the rules apply the same to everyone? Has anyone else hit a wall with mods who seem to pick and choose what's allowed?

Appeal it through Reddit's modmail chain, they overturned mine after a month.

Wait a month for something that should take a couple days? No thanks, I'd rather just make a new account at that point. Half the time those modmail chains just get ignored or passed around between mods who don't care.
