He made various moderation improvements, such as removing content from local communities when a remote user is banned or purged
Does this mean when a user is banned, all of their previous comments and posts are deleted? I understand the usefulness of the change, but I think this maneuver could get rid of a lot of useful information too, be it a misclick, a temporarily high tempered staff member, or user behavior that goes against instance rules but do not warrant deletion of their content (because they were not a spammer, neither a serial liar).
When the user is unbanned, is their content restored, or it is unrecoverably deleted on a ban?
Also, about the last part: does that mean that when the remote user has been banned locally, or when they are banned on their hosting instance?
You may reach out to the Archive Team. They are not related to archive.org, but they often work together.
They’re reachable on IRC, but if you know how, you can also visit the channels from Matrix.
