Untill you can find a reason as to what the point of such a blocklist would be, you should assume that there is no hidden reason for it.
Every forum has a unique userbase, a blocklist made for one forum would not work for another.
The same goes for lemmy communities.
This obviously excludes a blocklist of bots, but a general blocklist?
Nah...
The temporary bans are clearly to allow identification of repeat offenders, so that they can be psychologically profiled, to build a block list that targets a very distinct kind of user.
Isn't it more likely that it is just the mods issuing users a temporary punishment for breaking the rules hoping they learn?
Again, as I said before, unless you have a specific reason as to why they would be doing that, you can safely assume that they are not.
Are you a plant?
No, I am not a plant, I am a human being.
Sounds to me like you can't handle the truth.
Legally they have to tell me if they are.
