Reddit isn't suppressing you or your side specifically, they are assholes to everybody because it is moderated by tons of random people. You never got banned for posting leftist things because you don't post leftist enough things for anyone to be offended by it. Tons of people got banned for speaking a bit too frankly about their support for Luigi, which isn't a left/right issue at all, it is pure class divide.

There’s a significant difference between advocating for murder and commenting that a terrorist group must be destroyed.

I fail to see a significant difference. Both positions are advocating for the death/destruction of individuals and groups of select people. One mans freedom fighter is another mans terrorist. And you didn't have to straight up advocate killing or death to get banned for supporting Luigi, just saying you understand his position and motives and that extremely wealthy CEOs aren't special and shouldn't be treated as such caught swaths of people in bans. You can also talk all day about how you want Russian or Chinese oligarchs to die, but an American oligarch is somehow a step too far?
Reddit as a whole has been bought and paid for, and the majority of subs have also individually been bought and paid for. And if you don't stick to the moderate positions or a major media supported political zeitgeist you are going to run into bans.
