We need to stay far away from these restrictive platforms.
They don't care about their own rules. They will quietly ban anything that threatens their dominance, and if there isn't sufficient backlash then it will stay banned. (kind of like lemmy moderators)
The same thing happened to AdNauseam, an adblocker that blocks ads in addition to clicking them so advertisers get fucked over and website owners can still get paid. Google removed it years ago without justifiable reason, and because there was no significant pushback it stayed removed. It's what made me switch to Firefox. Seeing how chrome recently killed adblockers altogether, I'm glad I made the switch sooner rather than later.
