Couple weeks back I got a 30 day. Made no comment in their instance. Was a random preemptive ban. The mod account listed the reason as a rule 4 violation. That's their rule for spam and ads.
Yup it has been fairly recent that they've just started handing out bans for activity on other instances. You can tell they are very upset that they aren't the biggest instance anymore and hate that they can't control the whole fediverse as such.
Yep and for commenting here I picked up a few more preemptive bans in other sections of ml.
It's pitiful behavior really. If their ideology was so solid they shouldn't need to stop someone like me also on the left disagreeing with their authoritarian solutions. Everyone should be against authoritarianism period.
Ooo so we can make jokes about "you have been banned from ml".
