I’m new to the Fediverse and I’m still trying to understand how this all works. While browsing the All/Federated home page, I saw some posts which seemed to be pornographic. It got me thinking about the rules of Lemmy instances. Lemmy.ca has a “no porn” rule. Hypothetically, if I were to use my Lemmy.ca account to post porn on an instance which allows that type of content, would I be in violation of Lemmy.ca’s rules?
I guess the question is related to my confusion about where federated content is stored. If I use my Lemmy.ca account to reply to a Lemmy.ml thread, which server does my comment “live” in? If I were to delete my Lemmy.ca account, would all my comments in Lemmy.ml disappear too?
If I were running a server, and I saw one of my users behaving poorly elsewhere, I would absolutely consider their behaviour fair game for a ban. It would depend on the behaviour. Someone posting on a porn forum somewhere, meh. Someone posting about how [ethnicity] should all die in a fire, welllll, yeah, I don’t want that person. Find somewhere else to be.

it’s like reddit bot autobanning people the moment they use a single bad word or join a sub they don’t like. " you said retard in a 1000 word paragraph in another super generic sub, therefore you are permabanned from my super generic board ". mod power tripping again.
