After a thorough investigation, we’ve found that there seems to be nothing wrong with your account. We can see many successful uploads from your account, including one from yesterday. You absolutely have not been banned from our system. With that being said, could you try logging in using another app? (Example sign in to Primal Web primal.net) Are the clock settings on your phone set to anything other than local time? If so, this could be triggering the issue.

If it was just a strange coincidence, then I sincerely apologize. I hate when people make unfounded accusations against small freedom software projects. Especially when it's due to tech tribalism / cultism. I've been using Primal and Amethyst (when Primal was having issues) for over a year. There were times when I had issues with Primal loading notifications etc., but never had it completely shut off and refuse to load anything. This time was different - it wouldn't load anything. I waited, restarted the phone, restarted the app etc. several times. Also, Amethyst behaved significantly different this time too, but only with the functionality that required Primal resources. The bottom line is that my npub was completely blocked from any Primal app or media server. Given the timing, the conclusion was pretty clear (to me at least). However, it's possible that I was incorrect and it was just a very strange coincidence. If that's truly the case, I sincerely apologize. Either way, I hope Primal and Nostr succeeds and the team and community flourishes. The Pure Vida message alone is valuable and commendable. I was even hoping to come check out the citadel next time I was in PR. I wouldn't have posted what I did if I wasn't confident. However, I accept that it could have been sone type of new glitch, at a very coincidental time (I was being pretty bold in promoting a protocol that understandably could be considered a "competitior"). Also, if Primal wanted to ban be, that's their perogative. They don't owe me anything - especially because I'm not even a paying user. My only "beef" was that it's inconsistent with the marketing messaging. Also, that it nerfed my experience beyond the Primal app (no effective credible exit). I really fo think Primal (and Nostr) is great and respect the Primal crew and "influencers." I'm really rooting for you guys and the Nostr protocol. However, I also think Nostr's lack of growth despite many years of opportunity is due to the fundamental limitations of the protocol. Pubky looks like it may solve these limitations and therefore I'm hoping it has a chance to be a real competitor to big tech.

Also, for the record, I uploaded two (small) images yesterday via NIP95 on Amethyst. All attempts via Primal blossom (the default in Amethyst) were blocked. So, it's not accurate to say I had "many successful uploads." I still can't see any media hosted on Primal servers while using Amethyst (PFPs, images, videos etc.). I'll let it go now, but I'm not convinced. I also concede the possibility that it's just a fluke.
