That’s like China setting up police stations in other countries to enforce Chinese censorship outside their borders.
No it is exactly the opposite. Its like banning people that are known criminals from entering your country. Countries have laws(rules) and if someone breaks those rules, no matter where they were at the time, you can just say “No we dont want to see you here, you can go do that elsewhere but not here”.
That happens all the time in the real world and is perfectly reasonable.
What also happens in the real world tho is arrest/execution for crimes abroad. I would compare that to a complete lemmy wide ban where someone doesnt just get banned from one instance but every single one of them.
But thats not whats happening here so i dont see a problem.

If your users go somewhere with laxer rules, it’s not your place to try to impose your rules on people who don’t even use your site.
Well, with the added detail that the censorship would only apply to Chinese people. You won’t get a good real-world metaphor.
It’s still quite messed up, and if ml mods dislike the other instances rules that much, they should just defederate them.
