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.

You're just restating the Slippery Slope Fallacy, here.
Eh idk. The segmant you quoted says basically "if it happened once it could happen again", which really isn't a Slippery Slope Fallacy.
A Slippery Slipe Fallacy says that one thing could lead to something else which could lead to even more something else. That isn't a good argument, but to say that one thing could lead to the same thing again is a valid argument and self evident if you see that certain factors lead to that one thing, so those same factors would lead to it again.
