Several people have already raised concerns with the fact that they got banned from several unrelated .ml communities by the same mod for breaking the rules in one community. There are several topics with broad appeal that have their largest community on .ml. Switching instances is basically the same as making another account because you're still subject to the .ml moderation.

Then the people should switch over the communities to another instance then

The people don't really do that. A move needs to start from the mods, whether it's because they want to move or because they did something to piss everybody off.

Moderation is community level though.

If you bubble everything up to instance admins they basically melt from the effort.

I can’t speak for other instances, but we don’t melt from the effort.

Yes and no

If one of our users report something on lemmy.world for example we can remove it for all our users.

So yes, the post still exists but from the perspective of our instance it's removed.
