Many accounts were deleted because of this "glitch", it was nothing to do with the content of the account according to the staff that responded. I guess somebody made a mistake, yet they are not willing to undo all the damage. And

This list is an ongoing passion project of mine. Gotta catch 'em all! I'd also like to draw something with as many of these apps as possible.

If you're interested in the software used in Japan for pixel art (or dot art, as they call it) I keep a list, which has 235 entries at the time of writing: https://blog.gingerbeardman.com/2023/10/21/list-
