i can't prove that i was shadowbanned but after a huge fight with someone
on this mailing list, i stopped getting all responses from it, even just
general help commands, for about 6 years. mysteriously it just started
working again last year with nothing done on my part, and here i am, right
where it left off. it could have just been as broken for me as it was you.
