Bans coming from mods in communities. They federate moderation out.

If these accounts are just banned from certain communities, then why does it say "banned" in their profiles when viewed from my instance?

Wait I think I figured it out. These accounts have been banned from the instances on which they were created and I guess my instance just keeps track.

Yeah, same concept. Mod or admin actions propagate if they relate to moderation at either level.
