[email protected] GONE! How did this happen? Who could be so destructive? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

The entire [email protected] community vanished overnight. Is all that data lost? Are there archives anywhere? Please restore the backups.

Fair enough if the community is made read-only. We can use [email protected] going forward.

Seems to be deleted by the only mod. Such a shame, I was subscribed to the community too...

Since it is a user action and not a mod-action, we cannot reverse it.

We can purge the community as a whole. So someone else can start over the community. Are there any volunteers to be a mod?

Going forward is not the issue since we have [email protected]. The problem is recovering the data that was lost. Where is the backup data?

We as admins still can see the posts and reactions. So that's a good thing. But it seems we cannot open it up to the other users without having much federation issues. We will look into this, but we need some more time. I will get back to you!
