So we have A (aussie.zone) H (hackertalks.com) S (slrpnk.net) and D (dubvee.org)
- UserS is banned from dubvee.org but not the community
- UserS respond to a post from H, and H and A see this comment
- D does not see UserS’s comment (makes sense, since they were banned).
- S has no community subscribers
- S does not see H, or A’s response to UserS’s comment
- 2 - Why does A see UserS’s comment at all?
- 3 - Why doesn’t S see A’s response, or H’s response to the comment? No local subscribers?

however on dubvee…
https://lemmy.dubvee.org/post/3575707
neither of our posts made it back to S.
And on slrpnk.net neither of our comments made it… https://slrpnk.net/post/23201137
I think because UserS was banned from dubvee.org https://lemmy.dubvee.org/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=6263415
Oh yeah, this is expected behavior. A bans U on instance B without a community ban. U can still post and vote on their instance B, but none of that content will federate to A.
However, other instances C D E wont see any of U’s content, because A isn’t forwarding it… unless U is responding to content from a user on a different instance, then B will federate the content to the content creators instance (which doesn’t drop it) and A which will drop it.
Basically, what this means is things get kinda weird when a user is only instance banned but not community banned.
Should I ban them now to stop them wasting their and our time further to no useful effect at all? I think I shall since they couldn’t have seen my warning anyway
I’d wait at least 24h so people can look at the state of things and maybe provide some understanding on why UserS’s post federated to A at all. That still surprises me.
