One small note I'd add is that the Lobsters software has had at least one very unfortunate bug that led to pushcx claiming that I had "disowned all my comments"[1] when I left Lobsters. I had, in fact, not done so.[2] The bug was later fixed[3], but even today, over 2 years later, my comments remain disowned. They were never recovered. Textually, they're still on the site, but no longer associated with my account, which makes them very difficult to find. I'm still a little salty about that because I contributed a sizeable body of comments to Lobsters that would be at least nice to link occasionally. Anyway, my point is, when pushcx says, "all banned users get an email notifying them of a ban with the Reply-To header set to my email," that's only true if at least the Lobsters software is behaving as it is intended to behave. It may not be. [1]: https://lobste.rs/s/zp4ofg/lobster_burntsushi_has_left_site#c_pjd9mh https://lobste.rs/s/zp4ofg/lobster_burntsushi_has_left_site#...
