I noticed in the last few days, at least two very active posters got banned:
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”.
PieFed now both retains deleted posts (not the actual OP content but the discussions beneath it) for those who have the URL and also offers helpful labels rather than simply showing a blank page, like:

Hot damn how I love my PieFed!! 😻🍰😋
