Though technically it wasn't banned, r/star_trek recently got locked from having new posts, and only just the other day became unlocked because the mod agreed to not allow discussion related to r/startrek. Wait, huh??? r/startrek, without the underscore, is the official Star Trek community. r/star_trek is an alternative community created because r/startrek is very hostile to anyone who doesn't just slobber over anything Star Trek. So people would join the alternative community and bring up why they got banned on the official one, or how people were being ridiculous in general on the official one. But I don't buy that there was any meaningful amount of brigading that was happening. I think the official community, being its pious self, didn't like that people were exposing the mods for being arbitrary and condescending, or that anyone was exposing the likely possibility that they were highly controlled by ViacomCBS. When it got locked, for all intents and purposes it was banned, if not temporarily.
