I can't verify this is true, but I've seen stuff pop up on Lemmy that Reddit accounts are getting banned for promoting Lemmy/Kbin/etc. Being resistant to unseen administrators destroying your social graph is literally a selling point of federation.

And that "selling point" is grossly inaccurate. (Unless you make a separate account everywhere, which obviously defeats the entire point of federation.)
ActivityPub implementations all suffer from the same "you're pre-emptively banned from subreddit X because you commented in subreddit Y" problem that Reddit currently has, but with cascading effect across half the network.
Good for admin egos and power trips, bad for long-term usability and stability from the end user's perspective. As things of this nature have always been.
