A general description of the proposed change and reasoning behind it is on GitHub: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3697
Linear execution of these massive changes to votes/comments/posts with concurrency awareness. Also adds a layer of social awareness, the impact on a community when a bunch of content is black-holed.
An entire site federation delete / dead server - also would fall under this umbrella of mass data change with a potential for new content ownership/etc.
I think the true / ‘t’ thing is just postgres and how it handles boolean fields.
If they’re not all boolean, then yes we should fix.
