especially a sitewide ban preventing you from making a new account, of which they dont tell you the offense.

probably some have ties to smaller communities of specific category(not news or politics), like your into tech, or cars, or CARD GAMES, or console games. or specific discussions.

Because whether you like it or not, social media is the easy-track to connect with people of all varying degrees and connect through common interests and even ideals. It's a lot easier than in the 2000s and 1990s when all you've had was an e-mail and probably chat room hopping. You just had to know someone else's e-mail like you would have to know someone's number to call them, that's how it worked.
With social media, you can just breeze through friend lists and comb over searches to find friends and everything far easier. It's easier to connect with people that way than ever before. And losing out on that, can sting.
I sometimes wished it wasn't that way, but the people have largely decided we needed something more than just writing e-mails to eachother.
