looked inactive&lt;/strong&gt; — no logins, app activity, or posts for well over a year.
This is routine housekeeping, &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; a punishment, and &lt;strong&gt;nothing has been
deleted&lt;/strong&gt;. Getting it back takes one short email.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 id="what-limited-means"&gt;What &amp;ldquo;limited&amp;rdquo; means &lt;a class="heading-anchor" href="#what-limited-means" aria-hidden="true"&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A limited (also called &lt;em&gt;silenced&lt;/em&gt;) account is &lt;strong&gt;not deleted and not banned&lt;/strong&gt;.
Your posts, follows, and data are all still there. While the limit is in place,
your account is just held back from public and federated timelines so a parked,
forgotten account can&amp;rsquo;t quietly be used for spam. It&amp;rsquo;s fully reversible.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Why was my account limited?</title><link>https://welcome.yttrx.com/posts/account-limited/</link><pubDate>Wed, 17 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://welcome.yttrx.com/posts/account-limited/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;If you&amp;rsquo;ve landed here, your yttrx account may have been &lt;strong&gt;automatically
limited&lt;/strong&gt; while a moderator reviews it. This page explains what that means,
why it happens, and how to appeal. &lt;strong&gt;If this was a mistake, it&amp;rsquo;s quick to
undo — just email us.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 id="what-limited-means"&gt;What &amp;ldquo;limited&amp;rdquo; means &lt;a class="heading-anchor" href="#what-limited-means" aria-hidden="true"&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A limited (also called &lt;em&gt;silenced&lt;/em&gt;) account is &lt;strong&gt;not deleted&lt;/strong&gt;. You can still
log in and post, but while the limit is in place your posts and profile are
held back from public and federated timelines, so they reach fewer people.
It&amp;rsquo;s a reversible, temporary measure — not a ban.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Welcome to yttrx!</title><link>https://welcome.yttrx.com/posts/welcome-to-yttrx/</link><pubDate>Tue, 16 Jun 2026 09:00:00 -0700</pubDate><guid>https://welcome.yttrx.com/posts/welcome-to-yttrx/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a

&gt;Mastodon&lt;/a&gt;
 community server for English-speaking users, run out of Canada and the USA. If you&amp;rsquo;ve just made an account, welcome aboard. This page is here to help you get your bearings.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Mastodon doesn&amp;rsquo;t have an algorithm picking your feed for you. Nothing is trying to keep you scrolling. That&amp;rsquo;s great once you&amp;rsquo;re set up, but it does mean the first day is on you: you have to go find a few people and topics worth following. The good news is it doesn&amp;rsquo;t take long, and the rest of this page walks you through it.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
