I don’t know who this guy is, or who the mod is, but essentially this guy is getting banned for being liberal.

you’re only ignoring/blocking/locking yourself out of one tiny piece of the Fediverse, the rest of Lemmy is still available to you – whereas if you had run afoul of Reddit, the entirety of Reddit becomes inaccessible, not just one particular sub
