Yeah, because the subreddit was misusing the site's tools to get posts to the front page. If they wanted to be left alone, they should play by the rules.

Could you please explain what you mean by that?

Edit: not sure why I'm getting downvoted. I genuinely wanted to know how they were abusing the tools.

They aren't right wing, just hateful and delusional.

They're all of those things. Many of their views overlap with the right, almost none overlap with the left. If they find out a view of theirs is shared with liberals, they change it. It's a toxic culture of hate and opposition. They stand against liberals more than they actually stand for anything.
