Merely wanted to familiarize myself with any rules that I was not aware of. Cheers.

Thanks, I understand. In the meantime can you point me to where the policy is? I don't see it in the Guidelines[1].

Yes I understand I only made this recently. I've read for a while and wanted the ability to vote and comment so I made it. I updated my github[1] to prove ownership as well and put it in my about. If there are any issues brought up to me by other users about my name I would be open to renaming but at this time I would much prefer to use the username i've been using.

You are free to question the initial suspension but the permanent is the topic of discussion here as the result of the ban evasion. Violating Terms of Service is not a partisan issue. Might I direct you to the Paradox of Tolerance[1] in the meantime.

Hi there Dang, I've been using the name 'RealityWinner' since before the person Reality Winner came to light. I can verify that with my long standing github account with the same username.

Actions like what? Receiving a temporary ban for spreading harmful misinformation and then receiving a permanent ban after evading that ban.

> YouTube suspended one of Bongino's YouTube channels on Jan. 20 after he posted a video where he questioned the effectiveness of using masks against the coronavirus, a violation of the company's pandemic-related misinformation policy. His later attempt to circumvent that one-week suspension by posting from another channel triggered a permanent ban, YouTube said.

You can still sync via third party options but the entire desktop apps are view only if you don't pay for a subscription.
That's still $30 a month when other MVNOs will give you 4GB for $15
I don't trust any research Facebook releases about the impact of their own platform and would take such with a grain of salt. There is no incentive for them to ever release negative results.
