And saw a bunch of posts about the third party apps closing down, and lots of negativity about that whole fiasco.
… And I realized I hadn’t been there for a week… And frankly didn’t miss it. I am really loving the beehaw (and Lemmy as a whole) community. Thanks for being open, welcoming, responsive, engaging, and just generally nice people. I’m happy to be here. :)
Ban logs do federate but the effects aren’t in the way you describe. Otherwise, someone could just ban everyone over night by making their own little server, that’d be uh, quite chaotic to say the least? Thankfully, this is not how bans work through federation.
I can just envision the havoc that would ensue if someone could ban you from the instance you’re the admin of.
