And none of the triple parentheses contain peoples names or anything that could be considered religious...

I'd guess this was enforced by someone reading a corporate policy that said "if you see triple parentheses, it's hate speech, ban the account".

Maybe, yes.

On further investigation (see reddit) there also seems to be a CSV file with artist names in the repo. Black artists have a string 'n' in some unspecified column. I can't check myself if this might mean something else, eg. if other ethnicities also have this string... but there are some suspicious things going on in a that repo for sure. More than just the parentheses.

The n identifier has a valid place in a world trying to say the output is racist.

It is not exclusively applied to any skin color either.
