The internet is quietly becoming a walled garden.

I recently created a QQ account and made this single post in the Off-topic -> General board. To my surprise, I got banned a couple hours later for "Spam." My post wasn’t commercial or anything; it was just a genuine discussion.

You have been banned for the following reason: Spam. Please contact the administrator if this was done in error.

I’ve always thought spamming involved sending unsolicited messages to multiple users, not a single thread. Has anyone else experienced something similar? Is this a common issue on QQ, or did I just have bad luck?

On top of that, after posting this on r/Fanfiction, it was removed by the moderators because r/Fanfiction is not the place to discuss real-life drama. Now I'm starting to think it’s less about that particular site and more about the internet as a whole. The internet is quietly becoming a walled garden. It’s not just about one platform anymore—it’s the pattern. You get banned for a single, harmless post. A subreddit removes your thread because it’s “real-life drama.” Cumulatively, it creates an environment where you hesitate before posting anything that isn’t perfectly sanitized.
