The user was instance banned from sh.itjust.works: https://sh.itjust.works/modlog?actionType=All&userId=22076002
Hrm, I have a suspicion that it was a false positive by the automod (maybe it didn’t like “kill this idea”?):
[1]Update (2025-07-22T02:37Z): The moderation action was a false positive, and has been reverted [2].

They also can’t send direct messages to users on that instance.
Can a user on the banning instance message the banned user? If so, can the banned user reply?
Can a user on the banning instance message the banned user?
I’ve never tried it so I’m not sure.
If so, can the banned user reply?
