I have no stake in this argument (centralization on both lemmy.ml and lemmy.world is detrimental in my opinion), but I found it kind of ironic.
Not sure if this is the best place to post it, but didn’t know of any “neutral” fediverse communities, so I guess this one works.

Mr. Jesus,
Removing somebody from a community, is fine and the prerogative of the community moderators. Removing somebody from lemmyworld at the instance, has a massive chilling effect on the entire lemmeverse. These are things that should have different scope, and different magnitude requirements.
If you think somebody was being disingenuous in your community, removing them from the community fine I support you, I don’t agree with you, but the fact that you can do that is a legitimate moderation tool available to you. And I think that’s correct.
Removing that person from all communities, for what looks like genuine level engagement, I think is a bridge too far, and harms all of Lemmy.
First, the person was only given a community ban, and not even a permanent ban.
Second, people absolutely should feel that spreading genocide denialism isn’t kosher on any legitimate instance. If it was an instance ban, I’d be in support of it, in the same way I would support someone playing debatelord games about the fucking Holocaust should get the boot. It doesn’t matter even if they do ‘genuinely’ believe in their genocide denialism, it is not and should not be welcome in any civilized space.
Okay, from my reading I thought it was an instance ban. Then I have no issue at all here. Carry on
