Because people treat the Internet as if it's real life.

Fun and banter is based around pushing boundaries and being offensive. The rise of CancelCulture out of California has pushed most of society into a subdued state of being afraid to say things and those places that remain free are terrified of that culture spreading to their own spaces. Places relatively free of cancel culture react to the world around them by being edgy on purpose to the point of being painful, or by trying to make everything about their great struggle.

Kiwifarms is one of a few places where banter and fun survives, but the forces of California and Social conservatism have infiltrators waiting for their chance.

The sense of genuine, wholistic communities being increasingly rare to the point where vetting your members in seems like an attractive solution to the problem of oversaturation.
