And how is this supposed to destroy Reddit? Different platforms have different censorship norms. Say “Israel bad” – get your Reddit ban. Say something non-praising about LGBT – get ban here. Say something about peace – and you’re banned in Russia.
Right, but Reddit’s whole schtick was that it was more of a free speech sort of place, so long as you didn’t do anything overtly illegal. That’s the user base it built. When you get rid of your user base, you typically destroy the site.
Just look at LiveJournal. Chased out the users because they wanted to clamp down on the gays in Russia, and I haven’t heard of anyone with a LiveJournal in over a decade.

I feel so attacked and/or seen
Well, you could always try and make up for it by having more sex on average than straight people. Zing!
Man, ragging on the gays like this is going to get me cancelled, I can feel it!
Wow, two days in a row, and it’s not even Pride!

When? 10 years ago, it was already a hunting zone for moderators. Not as bad as nowadays, yes, but bad nonetheless.
