I think something similar is going on at mastodon. At first it seems like a good decentralized alternative but then a closer look reveals the lead developer and admin of the main mastodon.social server has banned a ton of other mastodon servers from connecting to and interacting with that mastodon.social server which surely defeats the point of being a federation and a decentralized network, right?

Kind of, but it's different from completely banning it. Reddit and Discord delete it entirely, any federated network could only be cut off from the main platform.

Yes it is less than a ban, that is true, but I think it is just another method of censorship by marginalizing users that belong to certain groups.
