This is why I was suggesting you would have conditions to apply these bans, for example that other admins you trust are applying them

I think that should happen too

I think that’s a simplistic view. We’ve seen people defederating or asking for defederation for the existence of a single community. Just because instance admins have different ideas of what’s tolerable doesn’t mean the rest of the communities at large can’t collaborate.

The point where admins would have settings to accept/review ban lists was to reduce the risk of abuse

Can you choose which ones to apply and which ones not to?

lol I wouldn’t be surprised if it did and I didn’t know about it

It does surprise me because from what I’ve been reading the mod tools and ban capabilities were… limited
