I'm an admin of a smaller instance.
I can remove posts, ban, etc anyone from any instance.
However, this only affects MY users.
So if I banned you right now, nothing would really happen except that my users could no longer see your content and you wouldn't be able to participate in any community on my instance.
Now if I take action on a user/post/community on my instance, that will affect everyone else.
Thanks for the explanation. So somewhat like email, except you can host content, not just users.
