It's been difficult to broach the subject and explain the technical concepts to the average person. I did have some success in first sharing the email comparison, which lead into interoperability.

I'm just curious to hear people's success stories, if you have any.

I think you're misunderstanding what I'm saying. I'm not saying thats mods/admins shouldn't have the ability to ban you from their community. Temporarily or permanently.

I'm saying that, to take your example, you get into a heated debate over a comic book. And the mod or admin there bans you. Not from their community, not from their instance, but from ALL of Lemmy.

That's what I think shouldn't happen. I don't think ANY admin or mod should be able to ban you from the whole platform. They can certainly ban you from their space, but not from all spaces at once.

They can't ban you from the whole platform it just so happens if some admin wants you gone chances are your home instance admin wants you gone, too.

Alright, now if your home instance mod bans you, you can then still log in, and move your account to a different instance then, right?

I'm not exactly sure but often the whole comment history is nuked so there's really nothing left to migrate.

They already can't do that
