            I mean, we aren’t using it in the literal sense here. Literally, a trifecta is when you correctly guess the first three finishers in a race, in the correct order.

            Now, if you had a propensity for blocking people who spoke about Elon, and you had a propensity for blocking people who spoke about reddit, and you had a propensity for blocking people who linked to paywalled articles, then you could colloquially say that OP “hit the trifecta”, and “won” a ban.

            Offhand, I can’t think of a specific word where two instigating factors invite a specific response. I’m sure there is one, but I am equally sure that word is not “trifecta”.
