Yes in the sense that mostly the communists inhabit it. No in the sense that, because it is decentralised, no one can force you do to a particular thing if you host your own instance
Think of federated services (namely lemmy) like a phone carrier. There’s a bunch of them, and you can call numbers on other networks easily, as they speak a common protocol. You (or your carrier) can always block either individual numbers, or entire carries. The thing here is, being a carrier (an instance) of lemmy is somewhat easy to do, and you can always switch carriers based on their moderation policies.

So in that way if I get banned from one instance then I can make a new account in some instance too?
I’m new here so I don’t know much about these
