And since it’s banning people from posting new content, it would make sense to delete the old content too. Well, not on reddit devs minds, but it would be a perfectly coherent idea.
Have you ever seen this behaviour anywhere? Ban is ban and has nothing to do with messages. At least I never saw or even heard about any forum/whatever to remove all messages while banning someone.
I dunno. A shadow-ban normally is retroactive, but I actually don’t know the policy on plain bans from most places. I know that here it would be a huge technical challenge to delete everything a user created, but lemmy is very different from most platforms.
Well, the OP didn’t know.

A ban is usually for a reason related to content so they typically remove all content? At least outside of reddit.
Can you provide an example of this approach? Something big and well-known?
