I assume it only gets shared when the admin of the instance bans a user that's registered on the other instance, but again, that's only a guess.
Go to the modlog of your instance and you can see they were banned of the mod of the original instance.
And that would mean I can set up my own instance, ban e.g. you, and you'd get banned on other instances as well. That doesn't sound like a well thought out design choice.
You can only globally ban people who have accounts on your instance. Cause that's how banning works, I don't really see a problem here.
You said "when the admin of the instance bans a user that’s registered on the other instance" the other instance. Make up your mind.
You also said that ban gets distributed. It shouldn't and it probably doesn't because if it would as I said I could ban you on my instance and distribute that ban to other instances and just lock you out of the Fediverse.
“when the admin of the instance bans a user that’s registered on the other instance” - I meant an admin banning a user on the instance that they administer. "The other instance" here referred to an instance that isn't the one you host, but the one where the admin is.
So you're saying the instance mentioned in "admin of the instance" and the instance mentioned in "the other instance" are meant to be the same instance, although it specifically says "other instance"?
Maybe you could reword all of that because what you've written until now is just extremely convoluted.
