I've only used mastodon for a week. My account just got suspended for:

"Being a capitalist"

I am not sure what that means. But I guess I can fix it by sending some moneros to the server owner?

The Fediverse is not very welcoming.

@charlesgaba Read the profile page for the instance you want to join before you join it โ€” rules are different everywhere! Some servers donโ€™t allow commercial promotion *at all* and, yeah, they can be real jerks about it if you break the rules.

Make sure the rules of the instance you want to join are compatible with your use case for Mastodon!

PS: you canโ€™t get banned from Mastodon โ€” just individual instances! They can make a new account.

@josh @charlesgaba Yeah, I went & looked at the About on that instance. I'm pretty good about not doing stupid sh*t online, but I wouldn't want to have to adhere to those guidelines. As a mid 60s y.o. white guy I'd invariably screw up...
