/r/AlternateHistory is exactly what it sounds like on the tin, a subreddit for alternate history scenarios.
We start this drama with the OP posting the first part of their oddly-conservative alt-hist series titled βThe Second American Civil War According to Reddit Part 1: Electionβ, which tries to detail how Reddit would react to Trump being forcibly taken off the ballot due to an executive order made by Joe Biden that would bar felons from running for office.
This post gets taken down, as it was originally considered to be not alternate history.
This causes lots of folks to come out of the woodwork in AlternateHistory, pooping all over the moderators, which can be seen in theseposts, along with the latest posts on OP's profile.
The matter does get solved though, with the mod Coniuratos explaining that he removed the first post because they thought it was made to just politically mudsling, with the top mod of /r/AlternateHistory removing succeeding posts in the series, which got undeleted by the mods as well.
TL/DR: OP of a conservative alt-hist series got most of /r/AlternateHistory on their side due to questionable mod actions.

The proposed timeline of events is pretty funny, and on-brand with how Reddit would actually predict it.
Biden somehow winning +10% more votes than last election....
.....despite doing nothing to actually earn those votes.
/r/politics openly celebrating convicted felons' campaigns being null and void.....
.....despite the fact Democrats have been trying to make electing felons legal for ages
