I'd imagine one way around it is going to be akin to their way around blist this whole time, which is to brute force their advertising. Program bots to create new characters every short period of time (or until the mute takes effect, assuming there's a notification). Part of the reason for downtime is to redo bots to work in a certain way. At least now, we have some tools at our disposal though, but expect some of it to come back in short time.
