These are starting to really stack up with the nutty mods in some of these places and I'd like to keep score and perhaps display them somewhere. I'm wondering if there's a list?

If not, short of crawling every community findable by an account and checking banned status by e.g. attempting to post, is there a way to collate such a list programmatically with e.g. an API or cURL or selenium automation, given the structure of the fediverse?

Probably saw you say something that violates their community rules so they pre-emptively banned you.

Like hypothetically, if I was a mod of a LBGT+ community, and just browsing the news community and see someone start saying homophobic or transphobic slurs in another community I'm not a mod of, I can just do a preemptive ban so the user never has a chance to attack the users in my community. You get the idea?

The mods of that community doesn't want you there so they banned you before you can have a chance to do what they perceive to be rule-breaking.
