Reddit has traditionally been a place where free speech is prized above all else. That they might 'censor' the alt right is symbolic. What it is symbolic of is in question though, pick one of:

1) The alt right has become so hateful that regardless of your approach to free speech that allowing it to propagate is unacceptable

2) Societies view of free speech has changed in the face of things like the alt right.

3) The expected role of sites like Reddit has changed as those platforms are used to spread hate speech, false news etc.
