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”.
We think it’s abuse by actors who want to cause excess load by rapidly posting, and then delete because otherwise it would lead to traffic? It’s to use resources without improving experience?
I’ve been trying to make sense of their mo, and this could be it. I’ve resorted to not interact ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I assume it’s ban evasion related, and they just don’t care if it ruins anyone else’s experience.
But the posts are inaccessible after account deletion, yeah? Aren’t most ban evaders trying to get objectionable content displayed on Lemmy for as long as possible?
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.
