this is really a great place mostly. this just happened and everyone will likely move on. this isn't what this place is about. most people just want to write read and make connections without drama! ty for being here Kevin!
Oh, this is actually scary. You put in so much work and effort to build up something only to be destroyed by some people with hurt feelings. Probably the only way is to not depend on one single platform.
The message said suspended for spam, it was showed I don't remember by whom (darby, Leo and someone else I can't remember had the same exact issue) it happens when someone post in too many chats, but is a fact that most of us post massively on the chats, to spread word or show any new piece. This should have real moderators. not bots.
yes it's very difficult to reach anyone with the bot situation too. I've been banned like every 3rd time I post, sometimes for hours, once for 2 days. it's like once they flag you your limit is decreased? I was sure his suspension was spam related since that's what happened to me. ty Sara.
Was yes. Which is absurd. Many of us spam the chats to post latest writings. If others don’t want people to do that, is as simple as turning the chat for paid subs. That stops more than half of the spam. But reporting some for doing what everyone does, I don’t find fair.
Wow very well written and to the point! I agree there just is no room for ugliness on any platform for that matter thats why there is a scroll. If you don’t like what you’ve read then keep scrolling and find what you like. There are plenty of genre to choose from, but yet here we are! The keyboard warriors🙄grow up its 2026 no place for cruelty. I like this thanks for looking out. Oh one last thing, its crazy that you would have to write about it when cleary it common sense do better the end 🫶🏼
I am sure you didn’t i mean nobody wants to because its ick but sometimes when you see someone go through that it hurts and no one deserves that kind of ugly. Not on here for sure. Your kind with a big heart ❤️ Never change 🫶🏼
I’m not sure what happened I’m new here too but I did engage with H and liked him. I’m sorry if there has been nasty comment. It all reminds me a bit of when a platform I did volunteer astro counselling on for three years disappeared overnight and I lost contact with people I was talking with, and then again when FB banned me for reposting an innocuous image that they thought “offended against community standards” with no appeal. I lost readers and all kinds of access to groups I belonged to. I learned to keep copies of everything I post. Eventually if I especially like someone’s writing I will ask if they want to share other contact details. All the best to H anyone knows him personally. 💚🌺
I really like Substack. I can engage with people who's interests are the same or totally new to me. I have a choice.
I feel the same about being here. I want someone to read my shit and say hello, I have no illusions just connections, hopefully. 😁

I’m pretty new here, and haven’t seen the dark side yet. Damn! I was feeling safe. 😢
it's mostly a great place, but occasionally there are clashes. it's usually a very kind group here

thank you so much for sharing that Vivian!! the frustrating part about being banned is they never tell you what you did. the cause never gets defined!
