/r/chapotraphouse created their own Reddit clone called Hexbear after they got banned. It's falling apart, half their devs and mods quit last night in disgust. Posters immediately assume a lack of good faith and jump immediately to the worst mindset possible in the person they’re debating with.

Pretty much the story of this site from day one. It’s very clear that these people are internet moderators. The kinds of people who cling to petty internet power because they’re bullies and like to exercise any kind of authority they can over people. They’re not people interested in making the site a good or pleasant place, and have no skill for or intention of de-escalating situations. They’re a bit like IRL cops: Always escalate until you can justify the exerting your maximum possible amount of authority. In this case handing out permabans.
