The last time I checked, mods weren't supposed to be able to ban people from communities that those people never interacted in before. Did something change or is this a form of abuse/glitch/oversight? in c/lemmings_world_instance@lemmings.world

Can it be done without any third party help?

My two questions then are 1) is this even allowed, and 2) if it is, how do I access these tools?

I’ve been noticing this more and more in the modlogs, with it proven via the “creator” option in some instances’ modlogs that the people doing the bans were mods and not admins, and when I first joined Lemmy, one of the things that were held as a universal truth was that this absolutely could not happen.
