The Community Wall of Stories
Documenting systemic platform bans across the tech industry
"Sent 15 connection notes to speakers at a design conference over an afternoon. Account was restricted that night. Sent my passport via Persona. Three days later got a template stating "severe violations, decision is permanent". Over a decade of recommendations and professional history gone without human review."
"My company switched VPN gateways from US-East to Europe. LinkedIn immediately locked my account claiming "suspicious automated activity". Did the ID verification twice. Received the exact same canned email twice saying "we will not interpret our terms". It felt like talking to a broken Markov chain."
"I opened candidate profiles in new tabs during sourcing. No third-party tools, just Chrome tabs. Got slapped with a temporary restriction that was immediately turned permanent when I explained I was manually sourcing. Lost my network of candidates accumulated over 13 years."
"We raised our seed round and I went to add 10 newly hired engineers to our company page. Account flagged. Submitted Aadhaar/Passport. Kept getting responses from different support consultant names that were 100% identical copy-pastes down to the punctuation. LinkedIn is a monopoly and acts like one."
