This doesn't make any sense. If they would ban the app, wouldn't they also ban the website?

Secret is a different case, the purpose of the app is to anonymous communication, I can see why Brazil has a problem with it (mass protests recently, protestors probably using secret, amongst other things)

Exactly, so far as I know Reddit already responsibly complies with subpoenas. Secret is designed to defeat that process and is completely unlike Reddit.
Didn't Russia ban Reddit for some mushroom thing?
Not to mention other apps are available worldwide.
