It’s only a fallicy if it doesn’t happen, and in this case I think there is a clear path to this.

You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
This sets a very dangerous precedent. Banning any legal consenting type of nsfw material leads this instance down the road to pure vanilla “gonewild”.
The basis of the argument to ban seems to be that user do not want this in their instance feeds (and without more mod/admin tools this can happen).
The path to other communities facing a popular vote ban is that if a precedent is set here for how we deal with this, and the ban is successful, it’s an effective way of solving the issue (1).
Once we have an effect way of removing communities, it can be used again. To say it will never be used again is unrealistic.
What I’d suggest instead is a clear set of rules on what is acceptable, without targeting specific communities which the general userbase may find unappealing.
