This happened on reddit. Subs that were in disfavor (usually right leaning subs) were bombarded with unsavory posts and CP. The people that were responsible for that used it as an argument for banning the sub. Leftwing subs that commonly had posts that called for violence were allowed to continue without interference.

They've been banned now in the name of centrism being the only true political stance

iirc there were a few sacrificial lambs but the vast majority of subs banned were merely "right wing". It has everything to with racism/immigration/any criticism of Jewish endeavors, nothing to do with violence per se.
