Have they released the list of banned accounts?

They’re trying to drive hold outs of the site. I suspect it’s working for some.

They’re driving away the holdouts by making the content useless. I think that’s better than just leaving, burn it down on your way out.

I really hope it doesn’t get purged if lemmy is to be a Reddit replacement. A lot of the value Reddit had was obscure knowledge and making google searches actually usable.

Unless they changed all of the comment and post ids to bigints that’ll probably bring the site down before it runs out of storage. In defense of the lemmy developers they have been receptive to feedback, so I don’t think it’ll take long for that to be fixed if it hasn’t already.
