Since it was Reddit, I'm assuming it's connected to posting pornographic images of Shadow the Hedgehog.

It was also done on Fark, many years ago. They didn't acknowledge that it was a thing they did, either. Eventually a small cadre of shadowbanned Farkers left and formed a splinter copycat site called Bannination; its operating principle is a total lack of moderation. The only disallowed things are spamming and posting illegal things.

I hung around for a while but it was terrible. These were the bad old days before I became a Goon.
