Reddit: subreddit removal reasons 2021
In 2021, the large majority of communities removed by Reddit admins on the platform were taken down due to a lack of active moderation. While Reddit is widely known for the freedom it leaves to its users in creating topic-oriented communities, the platform is also reportedly very engaged in the moderation of its content and subreddits. The second most common reason for Reddit admins to remove entire communities was content manipulation, while ban evasion and harassment were reported in 6,476 removal cases.
