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.

Of course it is relevant.

That action may be what removed a post or comment from a community you frequent, or a user you like seeing. Or a post you commented on and get left wondering why the post disappeared.

Mod actions don't apply to just the instance the mod or community is on, they apply fediverse-wide on all instances where there are subsribers to that community.

If the admin of MY instance removes one of MY comments, such as this one made in reply to you, you might want to see why.

You can already filter modlogs by user. And if you want to narrow things down more, you ARE aware that each community has their own modlogs that only show actions for that community?

Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)

Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.

Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc

(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama
