I’m trying to work out why there are posts in here about users being banned from communities, when neither the user or the community are under their control. Is this being mirrored from somewhere, or is this something that’s limited to what people on their instance see?

They are also, apparently, banning users that have never been to their instance.

    They didn’t list a specific comment that got me banned. I’m left of liberals so that might be a factor.

        You’re making the slippery slope argument. Being left does not automatically make you authoritarian.

          It was a question, you can be left liberal and right liberal, liberal is just less government involvement im stuff.

          Politics isn’t just a single line from left to right.

            Liberalism is a centrist ideology that still permits inequality as it does not go far enough in addressing societal discrimination.

              Liberalism is the fundamental wish for less/smaller government, the extreme version of Liberalism is anarchistm. There will never be such a thing as actual full equality and discrimination free society with any political system that relies on humans.
