Stuff along the lines of Luigi-posting. CTH was much more of a proper “all the left” community with everyone from soc dems on up that was largely just filled with anti-establishment shit posters. But, we loved John Brown etc.
I do not believe without a source that Reddit admins were banning chapos for upvoting positive-spin genocide. Not that I doubt it happened, but if they were doing that there wouldn’t have been anyone left in the conservative subs (except for reasons, of course)
I can believe chapo was one of the subs that would ban you for doing it or commenting in the wrong sub like AgainstHateSubs would but that’s a different claim than what you’re making.
That all said, it’s probably pretty hard to find a source for decade old Reddit drama at this point, but if you’ve got one let it rip.
CTH was not very moderative of leftist hot takes. One of the things that probably contributed to their ban was that they regularly brigaded other subreddits (this was a common complaint throughout Reddit when I used it), and they regularly left calls for violence up such as “Guillotine Biden Now”. They were also accused of ban evasion and other minor things.
EDIT: As another vector of this, there were similar accusations leveled at CTH as hexbear and Lemmy grad, where users claimed being banned for not buying more extreme views.
What was wrong about them?

they often approve of the racial genocides, hunting down of the lgbt and other morally reprehensible stuff this authoritarian regimes did.
Tankies are economically leftwing but their social views can be…questionable
