The main difference is that /r/jailbait directly broke reddit rules, was illegal content, etc. While /r/fatpeoplehate followed pretty much all the rules and had strict moderation. Once /r/fatpeoplehate was banned, and other 'hate subs' that were near identical weren't banned, it became clear the admins banned subreddits based on the idea, rather than behavior (contrary to what they claimed).

And then things sort of just went to shit. It was sort of the final straw for a lot of people, since the dislike of reddit has been growing for some time now.
