I stopped bothering with that list long ago, mostly because I felt it was inaccurate due to the countless things I'll never know about. Finding out from M7 was impossible. Everything else was luck. I had no interest in diving for a shit list few would read. The wikis on SaidIt are VERY under utilized.

I suspect I told DioJr about the list and it seems he added:
/s/ice_poseidon2 ([Banned from Saidit on August 17, 2020]

He was/is a good one IMO.

Yes - I agree. He often had interesting things to say - one of the smarter users on Saidit (even if he and I didn't necessarily agree, the discussions were interesting and kept me engaged. [Amelia noted that she wasn't sure why he deleted items and left. Perhaps there are changes in store that one admin might not be telling other admins, but who knows.]).

He was banned yet we could still PM somehow, or maybe he wasn't fully banned yet.

He showed me a few things that seemed like M7 was having another typical irrational meltdown, however, what I saw was far from the whole story as it didn't include the beginning.

DioJr was not verbose, was obviously pissed. Possibly hiding something, but that's pure speculation. He admits that it was bad form to delete his content out of spite, something like "If I can't have it then no one can." But before it was like that M7 was allegedly freaking on him, which began the deletion in order to appease the Monarch7, to no avail.

He's moved to to Ruqqus I think.

This is what I recall off hand with some possible errors (I'm too tired to dig it up). I don't think I'm betraying any confidences.

I wanted to find out more by making some posts that provocatively mentioning his banishment, so that I'd have to answer questions in more detail confronting M7 for answers. But between my back, distractions, and some big heavy posts I'm afraid I didn't raise the stink as I'd intended. Reflecting I should have trusted my gut and charged in rather than be timid and afraid of backing the wrong horse on the off chance he was actually guilty.

More importantly, for common knowledge I wanted to know if we could restore the stuff he deleted. I can only guess it would be tricky, perhaps more so with time. Maybe /u/d3rrr can answer.

Thanks for this. Perhaps because M7 has been coping with Texas electricity and water problems, and his work &c, he has not commented publically on much of the 292 comments thread with Amelia and several alt accounts here and elsewhere. He'll be back and there will be time to ask him again. I suspect he won't mind offering more info. Amelia - as you know - engaged with a number of questions, and indicated that deleted items are long gone, thou as you note, /u/d3rrr will also know how to anwer that. Saidit is on a server that likely has redundant backups, but only /u/d3rrr and M7 and perhaps Amelia, will know how redundant those are (eg. if it's a cloud service with redundancies or if are there tapes, and if so when are they reused).
