I'm trying to work out why there are posts in here about users being banned from communities, when neither the user or the community are under their control. Is this being mirrored from somewhere, or is this something that's limited to what people on their instance see?

They are also, apparently, banning users that have never been to their instance.

I first heard about them because they banned me and I got spammed by their dumbass system with every single community on the instance duplicating the ban via a bot. Never even interacted with them or saw a user or community prior. Seems like it's just some over-controlling instance operator just keeping everyone they don't like out of their instance that nobody would have ever known about had they not spammed mass bans.

Given how active the instance is, and that 90% of the local activity is from one community (dedicated to the show 30 rock?), it's so bizarre that they're trying to police what happens elsewhere on Lemmy.

Also, as I suspected, there seems to be just one person running the whole thing.
