I noticed that my server import the bans from other instances. I think it’s a great feature at the moment where there is no complains of anyone creating servers to abuse it, but I feel like it’s bound to happen if there is no safety for it.
If we want to keep it easy for creating servers, maybe they should have a trust level, that could be set either manually or with some heuristics. I like the idea of some heuristics with the option for the admins to take some manual action.
(dunno if it’s the right place to discuss that, is there some more appropriate community to ask things about lemmy itself, since this one is specific to lemmy.world?)
What type of bans are you seeing imported? Theres community and instance bans. It makes sense for instance A to import Instance Bs hosted communities banlist, but it would be wild if its importing instance level to then ban from both instances
It’s not clear but if you run an instance you just have a giant ban list in your admin page. No details about them.
I didn’t ban anyone on my instance, it’s a new one. They appear on this screen and in the modlog, it doesn’t say anything about the type of ban
