This being Lemmy I expected the picture to actually be a naked person until I noticed what community it was posted to.

An excellent example of how to troll properly.

70 quits. Around 4,000 would be needed to break encryption. This is a step in that direction and still a huge achievement!

Most of them are either admins (read: global moderators to enforce site wide policy) and “community builders” that spam subreddits with reposts and junk to boost activity. Some of that spam was malicious bots of course, but a lot was also from reddit themselves. That’s why the site appears as active as it is with so many content creators leaving.

Their development team is probably very small.

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.

I used it. I was disappointed when Google removed support but only because it disrupted my user experience.

I hope such a thing won’t necessary for lemmy as these enhancements become part of the default experience.

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.
