4th ban a few moments ago. Commented on a friends post, 10 minutes after ban 3 was lifted, and got a message telling me I can't post anything until tomorrow. At least it gives me a chance to catch up with dailies etc1

How do you get the message? Do they send you a DM? When I have been banned during December I don't know when the ban will end so I get frustrated when trying to post and getting the dreaded restricted activity nessage again.hertzyabazas said:4th ban a few moments ago.

2024 wins - £100 book voucher1 -
list of winners of these advents should be interesting as most of us blocked. Wonder if its just us in Britain, wonder if Americans can enter as Meta is American isn't it?

I got the below on my second follow this morning.
Try again later. We restrict certain activity to protect our community.
I only follow 1100 accounts so nowhere near the 7500 limit, still can’t follow 12 hours laterWhen I go into settings it says I have all features and no restrictions are showing1 -
I got a tagging/comment ban for a week! That takes me up to the 19th. So I'm avoiding insta for now. Though I've got the lurgy at the moment so the rest from advents is maybe a blessing in disguise?1

I've joined the ban club. This is my first ever ban - surprised it hasn't come sooner1
