This resembles exactly the description of moderation in /r/italy. There are more people banned from there than people subscribing this subreddit.

WTH happened in November 2021 to kill that sub?
Just Googling and guessing:

Maybe, "Italy Announces New Restrictions For the Unvaccinated"?

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/24/world/europe/italy-vaccin...

Or, right-wing stuff about immigration?

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/nov/25/matteo-salvini...

Those are hot-buttons that have ruined other communities, so whatever the specifics for that sub, my guess is Political Controversy. Anyone on here know anything for sure?

I don't think those are the specific topics that ruined this subreddit. The moderators killed this subreddit: if you express a slightly different opinion than liberal left wing, you will be banned for being "not welcoming and create a bad mood". And you will be banned also to express any polite kind of criticism to all the minorities, except one: the catholics. For them, every insults is accepted.
I'm on this subreddit, but it doesn't really seem dead to me, where does "November 2021" come from?
Posts per day flatlined that month after being sustained at ~50 per day for years:

... implying that the sub was destroyed by its moderators.

The moderators of this sub are a bunch of fascists. Everyone that express an opinion that they don't like is banned. And this is the result
Interesting, I couldn't really see any difference to before.
