Which means their line about opposing authority in all forms, even online, was bullshit. They either didn't honestly believe it or didn't think through the implications.
A much more honest and consistent approach is to say "yeah, we're going to ban trolls and bad-faith actors, and yeah, that's a use of authority, but because you can't run any sort of worthwhile online space without something like that (at least not today) we're going to do that and do it in the most open, accountable way possible."
Ehhh I see plenty of people who post tons who don't qualify as trolls or bad-faith actors. There's more to either of those than having running arguments.
