I found this today. I'm on it. Curious if it's what I think it is.

This is from five years ago, when /r/ThanosDidNothingWrong successfully lobbied Reddit admins into banning exactly half of their subscribers so that the other half could live in peace and prosperity. There was a whitelisted subreddit for the half of /r/ThanosDidNothingWrong that got banned, called /r/InTheSoulStone, and the list you posted is the latter subreddit's whitelist (called 'banned_souls.txt' for that reason).
In this specific case it wasn't leftists being shitheads, it was merely people getting into the spirit of Avengers: Infinity War.
This was the last time I was active on a large subreddit; hard to believe it's a full five years ago now. It was a fun event, probably the last big genuinely non-political event Reddit had.
