What do I mean by "the ban situation"?
I mean a few things:
• One instance banning another. This is horrible UX. Nobody wants another person deciding who they are or aren't allowed to follow. But that's how the #Fediverse works with public instances. Each public instance has a moderator and sometimes they ban entire instances. This is a real problem if that entire instance has many legitimate users on it.
• An admin banning a user on their own server. This leads to real headaches for that user and makes them think that "the #fediverse " (as a whole) is broken. If migrating accounts were easier and more streamlined, this wouldn't be as big of a problem, and if they are running their own server in the first place, they wouldn't be banned to begin with.
