Are you referring to Parler?
gab, 4chan, trump social, everywhere. They all have a lot of rules that you have to follow. Of course they have, because why else would someone make a social space. A social space without rules will just develop their own rules.
Anarchy in a nutshell. And I mean that in the most positive way.
That's probably how all societies were formed. First no rules, then some rules, and eventually rules designed to upkeep the system of rules. Time passes and soon people don't know why some part of the rules even exist, but they're probably important so let's keep them.
Anarchy is easy to reach. How to keep it there, though -- assuming it's a desirable state.
The technical debt of rules. Maybe you remove one law and you accidentally allowed mob lynchings again?
