Do you know if those contributors were able to get their accounts back? I was a heavy contributor in a couple of technological subs, and my account was shadowbanned and then remove…

As #1 (now #2) on ServerFault.com for many years, it opened a lot of doors for me as a consultant. I could reference my reputation as a "body of work" and it carried a lot of weigh…

I orchestrate ZFS snapshots using Monit and Syncoid. See: https://serverfault.com/a/842740/13325
