I'm a linux developer of 25+ years and I'm permanently banned from /r/linux because I dared criticize systemd.

My answer is therefore: Power-tripping mods. Where mods are required, ensure the community has the ability to oust them.

A ban transparency list, kinda like a certificate transparency list, would be great but the big issue is that you can't keep publicly hosting prohibited content...
