Clearing out or denying individuals access to a group is not gate-keeping, it's house-keeping. You want to keep your communities free of concern trolls and malicious actors. All groups are exclusive by nature of being about a thing and not other things. Gatekeeping is when you stop genuine, good-faith people/fans from joining and expanding the community. Kicking out non-fans is just good maintenance.
