Good grief, what do you have to do to get banned from 4chan?

Pretty much, just annoy or offend a mod. They have carte blanche on what they take down and who they banhammer. Then the process to appeal involves extreme levels of contrition which I ceased being willing to perform.

So it's Reddit?

It has approximately the same moderation philosophy as Reddit. I see Reddit's problem as a matter of bias and over-policing, where the mods of 4Chan seem to have a philosophy of I have power, I can be an unapologetic asshole

Not mecessarily for breaking any actual rules.

E.g this wired article on 4chan's moderation mentions how a user who attributed the Buffalo shooter's radicalization to the site got banned for "complaining about 4chan."
