MODERATORS
Because public-facing online spaces are underregulated.
Under... what? Those "places" crossed fascism line a decade ago. Marasmus line a few years ago. What additional regulation do you want? VIN number of the user's ass?
Marasmus line?
Can a restaurant send you out for discussing something the owner doesn't like? Not here at least (as long as you aren't bothering other customers / respecting the house rules).
A restaurant owner can kick you out for not liking your colors. They rarely do because it's bad for business.
The oldest rule of this restaurant: do not discuss whatever the owner dislikes.
Next rule: respect the house rules.
Also a rather old rule: we will send you out for disrespecting the house rules.
New rule: no boiled carrots in any dish!

Nobody knows yet what triggered the ban. It could have been an automatic system, a moderator decision, or even some glitch with account verification. Reddit has not said a word about it.
