What happened at Patreon was a bit like what you got a taste of recently: a kerfuffle over some unimportant issues like freedom of speech and expression; some people ended up labeled unjustly as bigots and racists (while much bigger _real_ bigots and racists were allowed to thrive) and were kicked out to the curb.
That happened very soon after there was a change of management which brought in some people of a certain political color that is reflected to some extent in the new CoC on SE. It all happened without any due process, and the Patreon CEO ended up making a liar of himself in public statements.
Sound familiar? Yes, unfortunately. It seems it's contagious.
