You would ban bob’s post from being shown on your instance’s copy of the federated community.
This happened recently, where a prolific user on !noncredibledefence was instance banned on blahaj.zone. if you visited [email protected] from blahaj.zone, none of his posts would be shown, but they were otherwise visible on other instances. I suspect in the case you’re talking about, it would only apply to the community on question and bob’s posts in other communities would be unaffected.
If I ban bob, I can still see his comment. I’m logged into my instance with my mod account, and I’m viewing the discussion… he has a banned icon next to his name, but I can still see it
Good answer, thanks. I was asking themoonisacheese about what they said because they mentioned that the comment wouldn’t be visible anymore, that’s why I needed more information. But I appreciate you supplying it for them.

yes, because removing the comment and banning the user are independent mod actions

It might also be because you’re an admin, and thus have local moderator powers everywhere.
