Why do I have multiple banned users on my instance, when I never blocked anyone? (czech-lemmy.eu)

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'm just more confused now to be honest. I'm not doing the best job either.

Let's have instances H, A and B. The user's home instance is H.

If the user gets a ban on any of these, how will it affect their use of other instances?

So,

Ban on H: ...

Ban on A: ...

Ban on B: ...

(Ofc A and B are the same, but gotta have 3 instances to know the effect on the 3rd one.)

Hmm. So, right now, you could totally post in one of the communities on my instance, right? If I ban you, you can't do that any more, but you'll still be able to post everywhere else. But if lemmy.world bans your account, that very account can't be used to post anywhere any more.

You'd have to register somewhere else.

Yea, that makes sense.

But previously you said

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.

The discussion was about getting a ban on A/B, not H, so there was some misunderstanding at some stage.

Nvm, I think/hope it works as expected. Thanks.

Yes, I said that because I assumed that we were talking about what happens when the user's instance bans them.
