My post about communick on @fediverse was unfeatured and I got a 3-day ban for "advertisements".

The post was well received and had 100+ upvotes. I've written it after someone found a comment of mine and said more people could be interested.

I did talk about communick a lot on that community, but my participation was far from spammy. I also subscribed to plenty of other communities and kept any communick-related comments to the "right" place.

Do you have a link or was it deleted? I don’t see anything in your history.

Probably an alt if he was banned

@glad_cat @Blaze yeah, my lemmy account is @rglullis, this is my mastodon account.

@glad_cat @Blaze (also, something I learned now that I am trying to use Lemmy from Mastodon: lemmy.world comments seems to be broken, all of their URLs returning 404 or errors)

Blaze ,

Ah yes, it has been the case for the last few days indeed

Advertises his paid service on a community, that doesnt allow advertisements

Gets banned for advertising

Cries because he got a 3 day ban

Blaze ,

That’s unfortunate, I really liked your idea. I hope you still have the post content somewhere
