Generally, "heavy handed moderation" in social media platforms isn't really sustainable either as some pushbacks had lead to the EU passing a law requiring them those platforms have adequate redress mechanisms.

Wikipedia is a paragon of virtue for that but from personal observations, they will become a fine case against "heavy handed moderation" one day if the Jennsaurus Files ends up in the media.

What we need is "due diligent moderation" instead of going into either extremes.

There could be a system which can address dead internet theory while avoiding "heavy handed moderation", by letting some users to verify themselves as humans by using Needemand's hand gesture verification solution. Presumably as others had put it, all accounts on any given platforms will then be divided into the categories of human-verified, unverified/ambiguous and bots.

Sure it is. Websites are private property, I can kick you out amenable to any terms of service that I set and you agree with.

Humanity isn't even the issue, past a certain point. OP behaved like an asshat and did not apologize once. They fought the moderators, and most online communities would ban them until they wipe off the persecution/revenge complex and grow up. I'd have done the same thing in the moderator's position, and I'd wager most of the community would too.
