I only got a week from lemmy.world (in particular politics I think). Imagine a Lemmy instance more triggered than that Liberal bastion. oh, wait, you don't have to imagine.
In fairness, that comment is one hell of a roast. You either gotta ban them from everything, or reevaluate what you're doing; it just happened that they went with option A in this case.
It's separate. If you just get banned from the instance you can still comment and vote on the instance and other instances can potentially still see it depending on the exact federation graph. But for whatever reason community bans federate differently and participation gets blocked at the home instance. Because of this, .ml runs a special tool to do these "super bans." I have gotten just the instance ban a few times but I think this is my first super ban.
I was a bit euphoric here because I mistakenly thought it was a .world thread and I was hoping to get some data on downvote bots and or database manipulation coming from Dessalines. Oh well. The impotent rage is still worth it.
