Basically. Maybe some people will disagree, but to me it felt like the old sub had some actual semblance of left unity, and was quickly becoming some kind of, I don't know, cultural force on reddit. And I totally believe that bannening was 100% about getting rid of r/chapotraphouse and had nothing to do with the alt-right subs that got banned at the same time.

Remember, T_D had been a ghost town for months when reddit finally took out the trash. IIRC a bunch of their mods had been removed by admins and they had a long window where they could direct users to their off-reddit site via a sticky on T_D's corpse.
The rest of the alt-right subs taken down in the same ban were pretty small.
they certainly accomplished their goal, that's for sure

The subreddit became so influential on the online left they even named a podcast after it!
