Hi, I've noticed that bot@lemmit.online has been banned.
Since that account posts all of the content on that instance, this is essentially equivalent to defederating from lemmit.online.
I realize that not everybody likes lemmit.online since it is all just reposts from Reddit, but it seems like it would be preferable to just put it on the default block list instead of banning the content entirely for all users. I personally like being able to read content from Reddit here without having to give Reddit my traffic.
Would it be possible to unban?

That's quitter talk.

Seriously though, thanks for the insight. I still like having the content, but your points make total sense.

Of course, it's also possible it was just a mistake, which is partly why I made the post. The reason listed for the ban was "post spam," which could be considered an accurate characterization given the volume, but might also be a misinterpretation of the content.

Also a good point. Wonder if we will ever know the answer lol.
