> Every Mastodon instance has an About page (no login required) listing all instance bans and reasons

There are instances which require an account in order to see the bans (cyber.space). There are instances which do not list bans at all. There are instances with made up reasons of banning made up instances (mastodon.art). Even that flagship instance lists incorrect reasons for removing instances (claims that certain instances shared illegal content when said instances do not allow any form of illegal content).

In addition most mastodon instances do not disclose their policies via AP. See for example https://fediverse.network/mastodon.art/federation
