@SlowRain
Thank you for your words. This is just crazy! It's something I simply can't understand! How can someone whom we admire do something like this, destroy somebody else's work without saying something first. Open Source and the Fediverse is based on trust. We entrust instance admin with part of our lives. I have a different opinion from Eugene about one issue, but I wasn't impolite with him, ever. I contributed to the project. I want aggressive nor offensive. Never! And now this!? And not even a single word!? Toots can be removed by admins, people can be warned and advised. But, in this case, that wasn't even possible because there's no base to sustain such decision!

@joaopinheiro @SlowRain I am really sorry to see this happening to you, João, and specially in the way it was done -- as a notice that a decision had been taken, which is not reversible, and deletes all the work a user has put into their account over all the time they have been there.

And no warning or discussion, just the notice that it's done. I received a similar notice recently too, from another admin of an instance I respected and had an account on. Went there to respectfully inquire about a silence affecting another instance (where I am a moderator), wrote a polite message, which got replied by their admin, and again replied politely by myself.

Next morning I realize my account had been deleted. Gone. 400 posts or so.

We got to keep in mind this could happen, and sadly there's a User Data export function, which will create a backup of all our posts in an instance. But -- there's no software at the moment which can make that data useful, readable, so that we could get back posts we valued and repost elsewhere if desired.

To do this to you when you have been a collaborator in the mastodon project itself, as a translator, without even a warning.  

Sorry, João. Not a good day for you, sorry for the late reply as I have been online less than normal -- it's been too hot here this week.

Have a good night!
