      I think the reason for those bans is that they don’t want you rebelling and are showing that they don’t need you personally, thus ban.

      Of course it’s all retained.

        Isn’t it amazing that places like this built on user support and contribution turn around and pull a “we don’t need you”?

          They think they are too big to die by now. That userbase grows like crops, and isn’t conscious of how it’s being treated.

          That’s a bit like monopolists and Ponzi scheme owners think. It works sometimes.

      They are also retained by anyone who has archived them., like OpenAI or Google. Thus making their AIs more valuable.

      To really pull up the ladder, they will have to protest the Internet Archive and Common Crawl, too. It’s just typical right-wing bullshit; acting on emotion and against their own interests.
