I have just logged in on my own Lemmy instance, and I see a list of banned users in the administrative area, from other instances. I have not banned anyone myself.
How does it work? If you’re banned from an instance, you’re banned from the whole federation?
You said “when the admin of the instance bans a user that’s registered on the other instance” the other instance. Make up your mind.
You also said that ban gets distributed. It shouldn’t and it probably doesn’t because if it would as I said I could ban you on my instance and distribute that ban to other instances and just lock you out of the Fediverse.
“when the admin of the instance bans a user that’s registered on the other instance” - I meant an admin banning a user on the instance that they administer. “The other instance” here referred to an instance that isn’t the one you host, but the one where the admin is.
So you’re saying the instance mentioned in “admin of the instance” and the instance mentioned in “the other instance” are meant to be the same instance, although it specifically says “other instance”?
Maybe you could reword all of that because what you’ve written until now is just extremely convoluted.
yeah, sorry for that, edited
