Well, this is an exception, I guess.

Language is a more universal and practical thing in many situations.
Love how people turned fact of being banned in an achievement. For some reason this doesn't happen for communities.
Way too wholesome.
Each instance has its own global set of rules. And then each separate community has its own rules. So if there is no rule 4 in community, then it is rule 4 of the whole instance.
So much noise about this event. I guess that not often something similar happens here.
Passwords are definitely hashed unless it is a modified version of software, that does the opposite. Also, yes, IP and port number can be easily gathered from pretty much any https requests. Other than that it doesn't seem that instances collect any other additional info unlike Reddit, that aggressively does browser fingerprinting.
1 year old account and still haven't learned to be a normal person and not a toxic b*tch. Good luck having the same attitude IRL and not get a solid feedback.
Somewhere lower in this thread I explained(my opinion) why this dev has used this tactic of expressing points of view instead of simply presenting a modifiable, clearly visible and documented filter with a default option, that represents views of this dev. I don't say that this dev is right, but I can understand the logic and motivation that were used to do so. And, yes, I can also be wrong. I don't deny it.
You can do pretty much the same, toxic person.
It doesn't take much time to figure out the rules here once you get used around and browse communities/modlog a few months deep. And it became clear to me, that there exist a lot of red flag moderators, whom it is reasonable to avoid engaging with. And also there exist other situation: when mod is relatevely OK, but the community itself is awful.
So, counter-question: you are seriously telling me that mods of blahaj instance don't ban(especially permanently) on spot for any criticism/phobia towards LGBTQ+ community?
ML's are gonna be wild here again...
