What happens when a platform welcomes you in — then demands proof you exist? What happens when it erases you without reason, and refuses to explain?

So I created the Tobinverse — a decentralized protest, a performance art piece, and a question:
🎈 Can identity exist without permission?

Brave idea, advertising a place but not actually linking to it.
