I started to notice that I have multiple banned users on my instance, even though I have never banned anyone. And that number is increasing.

I see, does it means that they are also banned from my instance? Or how do I read it?

No, they aren't, because accounts aren't federated. They're effectively banned from the fediverse, though, since once an account is banned, that very account can't be used to access the fediverse any more. Nothing hinders them to recreate the same accounts on other instaces.

I think, this is really misleading and also UI / UX wise pretty bad, as it clogs up the entire admin panel.

I see, since they're banned on their instance, that means they cannot access their account and then even the fediverse. Alright, thank you for the explanation. Helped me a lot.

You're welcome! Btw, I love Kofola. 😁 (Just had to think about that, because Czech Republic)

I appreciate that the first thing that came to your mind was Kofola, and not beer 😀

I'm situated in Germany, so I didn't want to kick off a debate. 😅 Also, I don't like beer.

Yeah, me neither. So now we don't need to start a beer war here.
