Basically, there was political discussion happening with non-PC views. As far as I remember EY thought that it was bad to have that group associated with the LW brand and wanted to ban people. There was drama and the group was renamed into Brain Debugging Discussion.
One way to prevent this from happening would be to ban political discussion explicitly.
I don’t remember the details, but I think it was more that the discussion was generally low-quality, not because of the political content in particular.
If I recall correctly, I knew the guy running it, and while he was well-intentioned, he had not read the sequences or much of LW, and the low-quality content was the reason for the name change.
