For all the contrived and performative grandstanding platforms do about “free speech” and “fairness” and whatever the hell else, the bottom line is that the only reason any website operator actually has to not hit the ban button is “we don’t want to” - ThreadSky

100%
They wrote a whole thread in pseudo-legalese in a cynical attempt to make it look like they're covering their asses from being sued, but they know there's no way someone can sue them for being banned.

Won’t weigh in on the specifics of any of these cases other than to say jumping into a forum just to be a crybully is some of the biggest loser shit you can do with your time.

It’d be instantly recognized for what it is offline but for whatever reason people think It’s Different On The Computer

At risk of blowing up this person in OP’s replies, this is a correct take. The company can say and do whatever it wants, but if it holds doors open for losers and bullies they shouldn’t be shocked if this place dies down as quick as it took an off.

No one *has* to be here

The self-seriousness is so tedious. Did you see what people put up with at Twitter before they bailed? You can hand out some bans to demonstrably dickish people and nobody's jumping ship

But what is the standard by which someone is judged to be a loser/bully and banned?

Whatever they want it to be? It’s their website. If they get bad vibes, they get shown the door. This works in every other business, social, and personal setting on earth but for some reason these platforms don’t want to be cool clubs and hangouts, they want to be like… parks and sidewalks

What about the theory that it’s all a ploy to get banned and then sue in an attempt to get the site shut down?

There is no legal grounds to sue for being banned from a website. It's protected by Section 230 and the First Amendment.
