I used to see this on Reddit, I’m disappointed this behaviour is also on Lemmy.
Users collecting mod status on multiple communities, and then using that power to mass-ban a single user from a bunch of communities.
Modlog show how incredibly trigger happy some mods can be. Minor transgressions, deserving to have their comment removed at least, but then banned from unrelated communities as a consequence. This will only get worse as users become supermods.
Edit: It seems this is how an instance ban is reported, by banning from any communities the user has participated in. Then perhaps it isn’t all as bad as it seems.
Yeah .ml has its issues but this person is a good reason to ban. It’s fair to ban someone this genuinely fucked up.
Some instances pre-emptively ban users if they happen to have a history of malicious behaviour. Can’t say I can blame the mods and admins for not wanting to put up with the user’s behaviour and the barrage of reports that could follow. Sometimes it’s less of a workload to just ban them than wait for their inevitable trolling.
That’s not the same person. Notice how the order of the community bans don’t match up. Joey just wanted to sound like a hero again.
It is the same person. The order can vary depending on the instance. OP is from lazysoci.al and the modlog order on their instance looks exactly the same as their screenshot https://lazysoci.al/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=2246232
