It's a not-so-subtle nod in celebration of the passing of the reign, influence, or life of a particularly controversial character.
There's been a bit of a resurgence of the crab emoji lately in response to the death of Queen Elizabeth II, particularly in Reddit subs like r/COMPLETEANARCHYand r/CuratedTumblr.

Comedian Jaboukie Young-White posted the crab rave dance when Rush Limbaugh died. Some people posted the crab emoji when then-President Donald Trump got kicked off of social media platforms.
