I have seen many comments saying that lemmy.world sucks, and sh.itjust.works is good. I have seen that lemmy.world apparently has a very poor reputation among other instances. Why? After a quick look, sh.itjust.works doesn't look much different to me. Can anyone explain?

Edit: many good replies. the conclusion I'm drawing is that for my purposes it doesn't really matter. I appreciate everyone who responded

The ban predates all of that. Do communities ban for comments in other communities?

You'll have to message the community mods for clarification. They're the ones who created and maintain the community, so they get to decide who gets banned and why.

Getting banned for a comment in another community is certainly possible, depending on what you said. I don't necessarily agree with that moderation style and it doesn't represent most communities on SJW, but that particular community tends to attract some heavy trolling, so I can understand if they're a bit trigger-happy on the ban hammer.
