I follow /r/Egypt on my (now perma-banned) Reddit account, because I used to live there in a diplomatic capacity for the US Government.
The Egyptian people are very devout. That includes Muslims an the ~10% or so of the population that is Coptic Christian. The people of Egypt do not countenance homosexuality. Over 90% of Egyptians think it should be a crime.
Also keep another thing in mind when you read Reddit Egypt: a large percentage of their population is illiterate. Those people are even more conservative. The people you see posting on Reddit, from Egypt, lean very left, as far as Egyptian politics is concerned. So basically what you have here is that even the liberals of Egypt don't want this shit.
Who wants to bet the mods of /r/Egypt don't even live there, and furthermore, have never even been there?
Legit similar experience! I’d basically reached the point where I was refusing to take part in any sub that was based around a local area because everyone in there is such a fucking nutcase… It just makes you realise how much everything is curated on that fucking website based on the whims of whoever retard decides them.

Eh. I’d bet the mods of just about any sub don’t really “live” anywhere. They just kind of exist somewhere but spend all day on the internet anyway.
