The subreddit was just banned yesterday evening. For those unfamiliar with reddit, their policy up to now has been extremely conservative regarding the actual banning of subreddits instead of individual policing of unacceptable content. The latest rumor going around is that one of the men primarily implicated in the so-called Pizzagate ped0 ring, James Alefantis, has consulted a legal team that harassed reddit into doing what they almost never do - take down one of their subreddits.
This decision was naturally controversial among redditors given that one of the leaders of reddit, /u/spez, is still allowing subreddits such as /r/ped0friends to exist.
The idea there is that he isn't anti-ped0philia, but just anti-smearing of said Alefantis or any other of multiple powerful individuals alleged to be included in the ring, such as HRC campaign leader John Podesta.
