i just did this and discovered that i've been banned from communities & instances i've never heard of; how can mods pre-emptively ban you if you never cooperated in their communities/instances?
That's a good idea! I tried that, but if your banned from a instance the mod log of that ban doesn't federate back to my instance.
Example: https://lemm.ee/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=1208549 vs https://sh.itjust.works/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=1211562
The sh.itjust.works ban isn't federated.
Hm, true. I guess site bans are simply not federated. You'll have to look it up manually, for example when you can't access any communities of that instance. You might want to ask about this and about the possibility of having site bans from remote instances federate in this community.
instance bans currently generally don’t federate and won’t show in the modlog of your home instance, but recent lemmy versions are automatically issuing community bans for all communities on that instance that you participated in, which allows you to at least see this in some cases indirectly.
1.0 will federate instance bans, but i haven't looked at the implementation in detail yet and i'm not sure if this is already implemented to be shown in the modlog.
I just wrote a script and iterated over the instance list from lemmy-explorer.
