I noticed in the last few days, at least two very active posters got banned:

  • @Laguriz@piefed.social
  • @foyuka@sh.itjust.works

They are probably new people here trying out the fediverse because a friend recommended it to them, seeing that it’s lal not-so-active as they’re used from other sites, trying to populate it with content, and getting banned for it.

As far as i can see, they didn’t post highly-controversial stuff or sth. Just random and sometimes slightly-critical-of-society (but not very critical of society) comics, just as good comics should do IMO. I don’t see why they got banned?

This is not how the fediverse becomes popular among the population. This is how to convey an elitist look of “being sceptical towards new users”.

          If 90% of the interaction comes in the first day and they leave it up that long, then they’ve basically achieved whatever goal they have. Even if the only goal is evading a ban.

          PieFed now allows reading deleted posts, if you have the URL. Example

          Though its more for Q&As where if requested the Q would be deleted by the person who offered it while the As would remain visible by those who offered them.

          I also am absolutely in love with how it doesn’t show just a blank page if you try to access the URL, and instead says the very helpful and informative:

          The author of this post has been banned/deleted so they might not see your reply.

          Damn I love PieFed!

      I’ve been trying to make sense of their mo, and this could be it. I’ve resorted to not interact ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
