quarantines maybe
No maybe - definitely. I read that quarantined subs slowly died from being unfindable to new users - as mods & admins perma-banned users for spurious reasons, they had difficulty getting back into subs they used to be subscribed to under a new username.
That's true except in the case of this site's predecessor r/chapotraphouse, CTH continued to show rapid growth even after quarantine, nothing could stop it and it was becoming a phenomena so they had to outright ban it instead because they didn't want a space dominated by communists to be a major force on the site.
