Technically, Reddit did not ban WKND. The sub was closed by its moderators and remains active but private on Reddit. The admins apparently told the mods that they were GOING to ban it if the mods didn't start purging all the boog posts, which was 95% of the content.
So basically Reddit gave WKND the same treatment it gave T_D -- "here's an insane demand which arbitrarily reclassifies the largely benign content on your sub as dangerous hate speech, comply with it or we will ban you and tell everybody how unreasonable your were about it".
Reddit went full communist on Monday. They even finally nuked the dessicated corpse of r/the_donald.
The "boogaloo" memes are probably mostly what did us in over there, but the writing is on the wall for anyone right of center.
