This exactly. Once I dove in and stopped reading, it oddly made more sense to me.

The problem is, and was for me too - that's not how people think of email. Saying "pick a server" is really arcane for most people, even "pick a domain." The fediverse as a whole has a terminology and jargon problem it still hasn't completely reckoned with, or at least figured out.

All of mine were just unilaterally banned at the same time. "Repeated, multiple violations of the content policy. Refer to messages in your other accounts as to why." No account had details as to why. I suspect it has/had something to do with my work VPN.

Trying to get used to it - slowly. I like it so far! Still super pissed that Reddit can just arbitrarily ban accounts, basically without recourse, and shut you out from any community you were in. Lots of niche queer ones I was in... just can't participate anymore.

In all seriousness, and a nutshell, is that something to avoid? Trying to learn!

Well, me in particular it's the whole gay AND disabled thing. But in broader terms: still lots of scammers to watch out for, lots of flakes (even if you're only looking for a hookup), varies WILDLY by area (mine is mostly tractor riding DL types last time I checked), etc. Not bad, but not super either.

Trust me, it's not much better for us either. 🤣😭

They didn't used to, at least many didn't, before Match Group bought them all. Many, such as OkCupid, used to be quite good.

Not speaking for OP but for a lot, meds can significantly impact one's libido, often negatively. I'm sure there's some other ways they can to - brain chemistry is weird - but that's one common side effect.

I'd love to even get a reply from support. I just got the same "reason" on all my accounts to check my other accounts for details on why - not one has it. Haven't ever gotten a reply from support.

I could understand if there was some reasoning, or even something temporary with some reasoning. But that sucks so hard *that bots or admins can just decide "you don't get to participate anymore despite your good standing," arbitrarily and without recourse.
