QAnon: The conspiracy theory that's sparked Reddit bans, explained

This week, Reddit banned both r/greatawakening, fallback community r/The_GreatAwakening and several other related subreddits like r/Quincels for "repeated violations of the terms of our content policy."

Though Reddit didn't point to specific posts or activities that prompted the ban, the community has a history of posting content calling for or endorsing violent acts, and a Reddit representative told CNET that "posting content that incites violence, disseminates personal information, or harasses will get users and communities banned from Reddit."
