AFAIK it has always been this way. I don’t think I’ve been banned from an entire instance, but who knows? If I have, I wasn’t told about it. Do they only allow interaction from people registered to their instance?

      Welcome Midwest social members to other instances, when they come. They were always very welcoming to me and I am grieved that this is happening.
