I have to confess, I don't remember Mastodon's name requirements, but I think that that misguided requirement is peculiar to Meta. I only created the tde@floss.social account because the admins were adding it and it doesn't "lock you in" the way Facebook does. > > Is it possible just to go to a different place and create a new account > with a new identity? I don't know that either, but the suspension notice does say "...we will retain some basic data to prevent you from evading the suspension," which suggests that the answer is no. > > If not, then I will probably never use any disservice like them. It does look pretty bad, but Michelle has given me an email contact point, so I will try to get it resolved. > > Bill After creating the Mastodon account I looked at tde@floss.social for a few days but there wasn't any activity to speak of, and then I pretty much forgot about it until recently when some posts on the list made it apparent that a lot of stuff that I would have expected to appear in the Announcements list were happening on Mastodon, and I was missing a lot of traffic. That's how I found out that my account is suspended (presumably for lack of activity, but that's just a guess). Like Facebook, once one has been suspended, there is no way to find support/contact information.
