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 would be interesting to have a proper test of this. There are numerous reasons this could happen. The first thing I’d look at is if this has happened in the past or if it’s a new issue. People have been clearing their accounts for years, so if people have had this issue before it’s a sign of an issue with the process. If not, reddit may be doing something odd.
