I did some analysis of the modlog and found this:

Ok, bigger instances ban more often. Not surprising, because they have more communities and more users and more trouble. But hang on, dbzer0 isn't a very big instance. What happens if we do a ratio of bans vs number of users?

Ok, so lemmy.ml, dbzer0 and pawb are issue an outsized amount of bans for the number of users they have... But surely the number of communities the instance hosts is going to mean they have to ban more? Bans are used to moderate communities, not just to shield their user-base from the outside. Let's look at the number of bans per community hosted:

Seems like dbzer0 really loves to ban. Even more than the marxists and the furries! What is it about dbzer0 that makes them such prolific banners?

Raw-ish numbers and calculations are in this spreadsheet if anyone wants to make their own charts.

I am banned from a bunch of blahaj because I said that they were as bad as ml once.

No, you were banned from blahaj because you were arguing that DEI is bad, and that there is no such thing as stolen land, because "everyone does it"

    First off, that was months ago now. Why would you spend your time doing that?

    Second, that's probably a terrible paraphrasing of what I actually said and without any of the context around it. I don't think DEI is bad. I do think everyone should have equal opportunities regardless of gender, sexuality, and race.

    Finally, I truly do believe there's no such thing as stolen land though, at least in the context of the discussion from what I recall. Your unnuanced summary, "because everyone does it" , has been shortened to further push your attempt at making me look bad.

    This is why I said blahaj is as bad as ml. Bandwagoning, echo chamber communities that don't want to hear an opinion that isn't fully in line with the Correct Opinion©™®. I don't even think my opinions were that controversial.
