    Dubvee was mass banning users for harmless comments on comms on other instances that had nothing to do with their instance. It all seemed very strange to me, what the point of all that was.

      Essentially, if you were a user on his instance he assumed you were there because you wanted his curated version of the fediverse. So his instance ban list got treated like his own personal block list.

        If that is stated somewhere openly before signing up, I honestly see nothing wrong with it. I wouldn’t sign up there, but if there are any tangible rules associated with what is banned and what is not, and you can check those, fine.

        If its erratic banning and random rules not written down, then eh, bad stuff.

          It definitely was stated yes. I don’t want to try to search for it now that dubvee.org is down, but fwiw I definitely recall seeing multiple posts by him stating exactly that, how he wanted to replicate “Beehaw” behavior.

          Edit: e.g. a link I shared with someone earlier, not that it works anymore but if it helps: https://dubvee.org/post/dubvee.org/1516426 .
