I used to see this on Reddit, I’m disappointed this behaviour is also on Lemmy.
Users collecting mod status on multiple communities, and then using that power to mass-ban a single user from a bunch of communities.
Modlog show how incredibly trigger happy some mods can be. Minor transgressions, deserving to have their comment removed at least, but then banned from unrelated communities as a consequence. This will only get worse as users become supermods.
Edit: It seems this is how an instance ban is reported, by banning from any communities the user has participated in. Then perhaps it isn’t all as bad as it seems.
I just learnt this in another comment. I didn’t realise instance bans were reported like this.
Re: screenshots – this community rules require censored screenshots.
No probs. It’s always better to link the actual modlog, otherwise you have no idea why someone was banned.
