Example 106.3.6. Let $\mathcal{X}'$ be an algebraic stack. Then $\mathcal{X}'$ is a thickening of the reduction $\mathcal{X}'_{red}$, see Properties of Stacks, Definition 100.10.4. Moreover, if $\mathcal{X} \subset \mathcal{X}'$ is a thickening of algebraic stacks, then $\mathcal{X}'_{red} = \mathcal{X}_{red} \subset \mathcal{X}$. In other words, $\mathcal{X} = \mathcal{X}'_{red}$ if and only if $\mathcal{X}$ is a reduced algebraic stack.
