@darius Hmm. He was banned from a general-purpose instance for seemingly no reason that he can understand. I'd call that a problem, regardless of your opinion of Seth Abramson.

The responses of "you can always find another server" are sad. Randomly de-platforming people with no clear policy is not really defensible.

Worse because as I understand it, banned folks are not given a way to move elsewhere and keep their followers - that requires cooperation from original server.

@darius @indri There are good reasons that some people won’t be as drawn to this network—that’s “the system working as intended”. And then there are bad reasons. Randomly banning people for unclear cause, even if a mistake, is a bad reason.
The network is going to include many annoying people, and that’s fine. Its not an exclusive niche community. Individual servers might be, but more general servers can’t be.
