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.
Unruffled supports zionism? Wait no, that's not it.
Or Trump? Nope, that's not it.
Oh! They made fake screenshots smearing instances! No, that was Feddit's admin team.
What about deleting users from the instance because Unruffled didn't like them? No, that's Rimu.
Or they federated an instance because they got offended at colonizers being told to fuck off? Oh, that was MrKapalan at .world
Maybe its the community about online socialists are a danger to society at large. Oh, that's SJW.
What did Unruffled do that needs to be accounted for? Not tolerate harassment of users?
Edit: 10 hours later active and no reply. I guess Unruffled doesn't have anything to answer since Kolankai can't give anything. Not shocking seeing how they're banned for being a weirdo to gender nonconforming people. https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/modlog?userId=16790064
