It is objectively a lot more male than Reddit or other social media. Reddit has many issues, but lack of women is not one of them.

How would someone get banned from their own instance? Do you really own it if you can get banned from it?
Other meaning: “If you get banned from [the instance where you created your user account]” might clear it up. It’s not their own instance in the sense that they are in control of the system but it is the one they might consider “home”.
Compare this against a case where a lemmy.world user gets an instance-wide ban from the admins on lemmy.ml, for example: user can’t participate in .ml communities but it doesn’t nuke their account.
I see. I guess home instance might be a phrase we should spread to avoid these kinds of confusions.
