I really hope it doesn't get purged if lemmy is to be a Reddit replacement. A lot of the value Reddit had was obscure knowledge and making google searches actually usable.

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.
Unless they changed all of the comment and post ids to bigints that'll probably bring the site down before it runs out of storage. In defense of the lemmy developers they have been receptive to feedback, so I don't think it'll take long for that to be fixed if it hasn't already.
Old meme templates seems to itself be a meme around here
I hope such a thing won't necessary for lemmy as these enhancements become part of the default experience.
I used it. I was disappointed when Google removed support but only because it disrupted my user experience.
Have they released the list of banned accounts?
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.
