So, I see r/NZ is back. That’s it? What an anemic protest. I guess I’m honestly surprised more people don’t care. I expected the protest to go on longer, but I guess I overestimated how much the average user cared about this.
Unfortunately, I think it probably means we won’t see a lot of growth in Lemmy now. Shame.
It’s important to overwrite them, otherwise they are just flagged as deleted but easy for admins to undelete.
Yeah you’re right. Power Delete Suite can do that, but I don’t think it does it by default. But I think I’ve seen reports that even when editing, posts are brought back to live.
Most likely it’s just an issue with the software or API. Perhaps it hits a rate limit and ignores some requests.
I doubt admins are restoring individual posts that they like. It doesn’t seem to make sense.
I’m not too sure. They are forcing subreddits to re-open, and in the past they have edited comments in favor of reddit.
Reddit content is very valuable, when I Google for opinions, I always add “reddit” to the query.
Many people who reported the issue say that their profiles initially showed up as empty, but were restored a couple of hours later.
