I did some analysis of the modlog and found this:

Ok, bigger instances ban more often. Not surprising, because they have more communities and more users and more trouble. But hang on, dbzer0 isn’t a very big instance. What happens if we do a ratio of bans vs number of users?

Ok, so lemmy.ml, dbzer0 and pawb are issue an outsized amount of bans for the number of users they have… But surely the number of communities the instance hosts is going to mean they have to ban more? Bans are used to moderate communities, not just to shield their user-base from the outside. Let’s look at the number of bans per community hosted:

Seems like dbzer0 really loves to ban. Even more than the marxists and the furries! What is it about dbzer0 that makes them such prolific banners?

Raw-ish numbers and calculations are in this spreadsheet if anyone wants to make their own charts.

    Draconic NEO mods a lot of dbzer0 and pawb.social communities, and every time he bans someone, he bans them on ALL of his communities. That’s the cause of the pawb.social data.

    And everyone who complains about him turns out to be a transphobe. Right after they make a yepowertrippinbastards post with a valid grievance, they suddenly pivot to making tons of alt accounts to harass him with transphobic hate speech for no reason. It’s super convenient for him that all his critics turn out to be transphobes. I guess he’s a good guy after all, since all of those random people with valid complaints turned out to be hateful lunatics.
