I don't think this works on reddit either, since subreddit moderators can simply delete such comments.
It's the moderators on Reddit that are much of the problem.
There are organised subreddits (/r/AHS) that seek to get certain subreddits not in agreement with the latest SJW ideology banned. They do this by posting illegal / banned content themselves in the subreddit, then mass reporting it.
They also do this at a user level, including targeting mods of any subreddit they disagree with. If they get the mods of a subreddit banned, they can take it over with their own friendly mods - easily done as there are clearly Reddit employees with an activist agenda who will help them out.
Once they've done that they're free to stifle debate, ban any users who speak out against their point of view and generally create a culture of fear.
This is why all the womens issues, feminist & lesbian subreddits have trans (i.e. male) moderators. And why entire communities of women have left reddit forever.
