Yes! Very much so. They've become increasingly authoritarian over the years. These days just saying the word "trans" can get one banned from dozens of subreddits and even from the entire website. So far kbin.social has been pretty good, but there are a lot of users who want a safe space and don't like opposing political views. Let's hope either the owner believes in free speech, or I find an instance which does :)
