IDK about the admins, but community mods in the lemmyverse can ban other users for whatever reason they want and that happens all the time (“serial downvoting” is the most common excuse I’ve seen, the pro-AI communities do it all the time to shore up the walls of their echo chambers…). At the admin level, .world notoriously rarely bans at the instance level, whereas .ml … does tend to do that, yeah.
Pretty sure I’ve been temp banned from ml like a dozen times or something. Who knows the exact amount. They’re generous with bans but apparently a perm is rarer

I’m almost certain that .ml is run by sime comunist police.
They do appear to be regular bootlicking enthusiasts, not actual collaborators. There’s a fair amount of scrutiny on them.
