Are you talking about matrix.org? I have my own server. If it bans me, that'll be wild.
Yeah, I think so. I downloaded the recommended app, connected to the recommended server, added a channel, tried to ask my question, and BAM! That was it.
I think they're just hyper-vigilante about spammers. They have been targeted with a lot of spam as the flagship server. Unfortunate that you had a bad experience your first time trying it.
