I agree that it’s bullshit to ban someone from your group because they are subbed to a group that you don’t like. For subs that fear brigading by people that disagree with the intent of their group all they have to do is set up a "FLAIR’ policy. You ask the mod for flair. They do a quick check of your history and they allow you access.
In general if you invest just a bit of time on research you will unfortunately find that one political leaning much more than the other bans people simply because they belong to a group that they don’t like.

that would never happen on lemmy!

source: I’ve been banned from communities I have never visited because the mods said I’m a racist bigot.
jokes on them, I hate everyone equally regardless of race or gender. I especially hate malicious liars and ethically challenged mods.
Let’s say it’s less likely on Lemmy. And group bans seem to last for days instead of forever.
