If you mean the buggy and badly documented process, sure.

But the complaint it builds up to is that instance-wide bans can ruin you when there are super big instances, and that's not something that can be fixed.

I see this as a mistake caused by really poor docs that should explain what to do and warn not to do the thing this person did.

It's also true that big instances have a lot of power and it's going to require a lot of growth of alternative instances to fix that, which will take time. At least it's possible, though. It's an intended outcome.

Any system that can ruin a spammer can also ruin someone who isn't a spammer, since the system can't tell the difference.
