I know nothing of VCV community beyond what I read in this article, so - grain of salt.
But I will agree with the author in one point, banning/squelching on dissenting views isn't a good way to deal with problems.

When communities start controlling narratives through deletes, shadow banning, banning - clamping down on public dissent, it's the signs of toxic culture. Largely hiding behind the guise of safe space, it allows festering of same speak.
Again, not saying it is happening 100% in VCV (not connected), but if it is happening like the author says, it pushes away contributors who are closely related to the space.
