I started to notice that I have multiple banned users on my instance, even though I have never banned anyone. And that number is increasing.

    I’m just more confused now to be honest. I’m not doing the best job either.

    Let’s have instances H, A and B. The user’s home instance is H.

    If the user gets a ban on any of these, how will it affect their use of other instances?

    So,

    Ban on H: …

    Ban on A: …

    Ban on B: …

    (Ofc A and B are the same, but gotta have 3 instances to know the effect on the 3rd one.)

      Hmm. So, right now, you could totally post in one of the communities on my instance, right? If I ban you, you can’t do that any more, but you’ll still be able to post everywhere else. But if lemmy.world bans your account, that very account can’t be used to post anywhere any more.

      You’d have to register somewhere else.

        Yea, that makes sense.

        But previously you said

        They’re effectively banned from the fediverse, though, since once an account is banned, that very account can’t be used to access the fediverse any more.

        The discussion was about getting a ban on A/B, not H, so there was some misunderstanding at some stage.

        Nvm, I think/hope it works as expected. Thanks.

          But previously you said

          Yes, I said that because I assumed that we were talking about what happens when the user’s instance bans them.

        So that doesn’t really explain what’s going on with me. I have two accounts, with the same name. This one at lemme.world and another at lemm.ee, which are all the other comments in this thread by the same name. I can see this whole thread on this account, but from the other one I can only see my comments and the person that was replying to.

        I don’t know what’s going on, except maybe lemme.ee is the federated from dot ml? I don’t know why, and I don’t know if it’s just me doing something wrong or not. I’ve been trying to figure out a way to find out who’s the federated and who’s not within an instance. Because my two front pages look vastly different.

      If your home instance is H and you’re banned on H, you’re banned everywhere.

      If your home instance is H and you’re banned in A, you can’t interact with A.

      If your home instance is H and you’re banned in A, B gets a wanted poster from A but B’s not required to arrest them.
