Where is this information stored? If someone is overzealous in banning users, does this create a giant, permanent file somewhere? (I hope this is the right place to ask; it was removed from Asklemmy)

Your Blocked User list is stored within the instance you’re on (for you it’s lemmy.ml), and not shared to anyone else. Note that the people you block can see your posts through various ways due to the nature of ActivityPub.
The people banned from communities and instances are visible to all instances. You can see the modlog on lemmy.world as a reference, where moderation from lemmy.ml communities are visible on its modlog.
