It is a trick that the violent left activists commonly use on reddit.
The attackers usually pretend to be someone else and place threats, and send private messages.
Tnen they also report this and give it as an example of why a sub should be banned.
Usually this is organized via a chat-group.
They are also connected to some admins that are looking for reasons to ban a sub.

I have followed /r/reclassified and /r/declineintocensorship for a while, and they reported many tricks in which the attackers tried to push the banning of certain subs.

It is part of their cancel culture: it is an aggressive mob of people having no soul.
(A soul gives the capability to think for yourself and see another individual as unique)

These tactics were going on, but eventually they just classified not believing in their ideology as "hate speech" and took the entire thing down.

I think this "ideology" should be renamed to "psychological problem".

It's both.

NPR even profiled the Reddit activists I think that you're talking about, and their sub, which was r/AgainstHateSubs (the Hate sub called itself Against Hate Subs). Reading the NPR piece I felt as if I were in an alternate universe because they treated these monsters as if they were crusaders against evil and on the Right Side of History.
