I use social media automation tools to schedule posts ahead of time several times a day. They suspended me out of the blue for “spam”. I am using their API for this. Literally no “big tech” platforms have done this to me - not LinkedIn, X, etc. I am just shocked that Mastodon who claims to be the anti establishment is the only one that has “silenced” me.

For someone working on their personal brand and following, are there even benefits of sticking around Mastodon? From my limited knowledge of it, it seems that if I cannot be on the primary server, then there isn’t much of a point for me being on Mastodon. Am I wrong on this assessment?

    This is why I’m burned out on Mastodon. Too many instances just have contradictory & arbitrary moderation, breaking the entire system into isolated islands of owners pointing at each other and screeching. It’s not a community, it’s Lord of the Flies.
