Anyone knows what happened to https://fosstodon.org/@particl it says account don't exist anymore and they just moved over there thanks to my recommendation.. @fosstodon you deleted or banned them? And if so like to explain?
@Decentralize_today @fosstodon I doubt that it was the fine folks of @fosstodon
@mike @freddy restored with zero followers, they shared about the project, perhaps an decentralized amazon totally open source and an first time atomic swap was worth sharing? I advice them to get an own instance. Losing a 4 year old follower ship is not cool. And they moved on my advice over to fosstodon
@Decentralize_today What account did they migrate to Fosstodon from?
@Decentralize_today Fortunately, the way they chose to do the migration to Fosstodon left their old account entirely intact. All of their posts and followers are still there. They can reopen that account and either migrate back to Fosstodon again to restore all their posts followers (other than the ones from the 24-48 hours they were here), or if they choose to migrate to their own instance, they can do that as well.
@Decentralize_today Probably. A friend of ours migrated from Fosstodon to his own instance and used that feature. You can see how the old account looks here: @amolith
@mike ahhh. Well fair enough. As a moderator of my instance (we have 2.1k users so not as much as you mike) I completely understand the issues of spam. We've had a lot of issues with registration recently, and it's a real pain.
I hadn't looked into the situation, so presumed it was just a glitch. I'm glad all has been resolved now!
@freddy @Decentralize_today It was totally us. The Particl account was opened, and dropped over 20 posts mostly about blockchain in less than a day. It was reported by our community as spam, and it acted like a spam account, so the account was removed. We're happy for people/projects to post links to their blogs, but it needs to be done in a way that sparks discussion and debate. Not just a dump of links. The account has been restored, and they're welcome here. Just please follow the CoC.
