Also, when one of them tries to visit one of the communities they invariably claim that they have been personally banned by you. It actual fact, it's nothing personal, they're just on a trash instance that's been defederated.

When they weren't blocked every post was mass downvoted by LW accounts. Once I removed LW and Lemmy.Ca that stopped. I eventually turned off downvotes entirely but those two instances are poorly gate kept. If I wanted to be on reddit I'd just sign in.

I think a reason that it's that bad is that quite a few of them are somehow perma-banned from reddit, but are hell bent on making a place exactly like it if not worse on the fediverse. So instead of signing in to reddit, they go onto lemmy world instead and change nothing about their behavior. Surprisingly, lemmy world seems to dish out bans less harshly than reddit and that's really saying something.
