@metaadvisor I've had this done to me on a harmless business account so I know it first hand. It's one of the reasons I'm on Mastodon.

You're not given a reason for the ban. There's no way to contact anyone. It's simply over. Meta says no.

That said, we've been using US corporate social media as if it was some kind of platform where freedom of expression is possible. It's not. Those platforms are platforms for censorship — and we've all invested too many years into them.

@txtx Hi, thanks for sharing this — really appreciate it.

People this happens to often lose their voice — they can’t explain what happened or reach anyone. To others, it just looks like inactivity or ghosting.

We’re trying to share these stories so people understand this affects normal users, not just scammers or bots.

If you’re comfortable:
– How long had you had your account?
– When did this happen?
– Did others notice, or did it just look like inactivity?
