Tik Tokers learned how to close caption their videos to help those with disabilities and it became a community thing that expressly separates them from others.
There's a difference between: banning users for doing something, tempbanning for doing something, warning users for doing something, PSAs about doing something etc...
As you can see there's an escalation path, and depending on what "something" is, you can craft moderation policy that will build a good culture in your community. Obviously banning over something that most of your users would consider minor right off the bat, is a bit over the top. At the same time, you may need to resort to banning certain behavior in order to "right the ship" if things are out of balance. Takes some skill that the LSC mods apparently didn't have, despite their best intentions.
Correct the Record was the name of HIllary's PR/astroturf campaign. We saw some of it in action in the 2020 primaries, but it was even more prevalent in 2015/16.
Oh man that CTR shit was so funny in hindsight. Literally, the day after they called the election you could actually use /r/politics again. It was like a breath of fresh air. It was literally like someone hit the off switch on CTR.

You know how Virgil just disappeared for a few weeks after Bernie lost? I think a lot of people in r/politics did something similar after Trump won. I sure as hell did.

Yes, it's become a distinguishing community in-group feature to the point folks apologize if they hurried in making captions or forgot.

Which sub was it that "the CTR shills took over ... overnight"?
EDIT: Got it, r/politics

that happened pretty late though. definitely closer to the sub's ban than to the sub's initial explosion of popularity

My toes were already in the water when the catgirl fight happened. CTH was one of few places to see it as ridiculous
