Modlog, which includes a site ban—something only admins can do.
The community bans also include communities that aren’t moderated by any instance admins, and some that are only moderated by a single person who likely isn’t aware of actions taken under their community’s name.
Yea I’m not saying it’s a great way to do this, but that’s the lemmy way right now.
I think it is meant as a workaround, maybe someone implements something better eventually.
I’m hoping they implement federation of site bans, I’ve seen a lot of people banned from the site the community is hosted on still replying and pushing their disgusting rhetoric in comments of posts and it still continues to be federated because they don’t get blocked from those communities from a site ban.
Home bans federate everywhere.
Remote bans don’t, which makes sense, because otherwise lemmygrad could ban your sjw account which makes no sense.
That’s kinda how they go to the workaround of banning from every community in that instance.
But then .world is still running an old version that doesn’t do that anyway
