From everything I've seen, it's been a concerted effort to censor "personalities" who are also being rude and harassing other users and encouraging their followers to do the same. Though in this case the "encouraging", seems to happen offsite via Slack chat. Nothing has really changed since the BBS/IRC days in this case, and it's not really noteworthy.
