I haven’t banned anyone, and as far as I know none of the other users on my instance currently have moderation privileges. So why am I seeing two users in a “banned” list when I visit my instance settings page? What horrible, unforgivable things did these users have to do for my instance to ban them seemingly of its own accord…?

(I have manually unbanned these users since taking the screenshot, since I didn’t see any reason why they should have been banned in the first place.)

    If they are banned on their home instance, then are they banned everywhere? Does it work like an email address, where if your hosting server (Gmail for instance) bans your email address, then you can no longer send or recieve emails?

    So if your home lemmy server bans you, then how could you ever post anywhere else?
