They want your content to make their site worth visiting, they just don’t want you

    Well, the OP didn’t know.

    And since it’s banning people from posting new content, it would make sense to delete the old content too. Well, not on reddit devs minds, but it would be a perfectly coherent idea.

        I dunno. A shadow-ban normally is retroactive, but I actually don’t know the policy on plain bans from most places. I know that here it would be a huge technical challenge to delete everything a user created, but lemmy is very different from most platforms.

        A ban is usually for a reason related to content so they typically remove all content? At least outside of reddit.
