r/cth was originally a subreddit for the podcast Chapo Trap House, but it eventually bloomed into a general-purpose leftist space. IIRC, the sub was around 160k members at its peak and had a distinct posting culture.

It was quarantined by Reddit for violent speech after calling for the death of slave owners and later banned for no particular reason at the same time as r/the_donald, presumably as a "both sides" sort of thing.

Chapo Trap House was (is?) a far-left/socialist political podcast and r/ChapoTrapHouse was the associated subreddit.

I'm sure someone more knowledgeable can fill in the details. I just vaguely remember hearing about the sub getting banned
