No.
No, it doesn't make the group inaccessible by other users, however, if the content posted by the banned user is also removed, it means that a lot of the group content also goes away if that user was active.
In this case, I also banned the group itself, because a group that won't moderate against nazis is a group that I have to moderate to ensure nazi content doesn't slip through.
If you have any evidence of Lawrence acknowledging that stonetoss is a nazi and making it clear it won't be posted again, I'm happy to restore that user.
If they just stayed silent on the whole topic, and didn't acknowledge, I'm not giving them the benefit of the doubt.
If you can show me that something has happened to ensure that stonetoss won't appear in that community again I'm happy to restore it, but as it stands, the stonetoss comic that started this is still visible in that community on lemmy.world. Lawrence (the only mod of the community) hasn't removed it.
Okeydoke, thanks for the explanation.
I don't really have any more evidence and I agree that silence on the topic would be damning. I guess I'm more inclined to give the benefit of the doubt, but I understand you can't moderate based on vibes. I respect the rationale behind zero tolerance moderation especially where Blahaj's mission is to create a safe space. I'm sure we've all heard the parable of the nazi bar.
