Why are there no Matter over Thread switchbots/fingerbots?

Why are there no Matter over Thread switchbots/fingerbots?

I've been looking for switchbots on Matter for some time now. I just installed a ZigBee network alongside my Matter over Thread network, as I have some IKEA TRÅFRIs. But, now that the DUBBELKISEL is out and that they work on Matter over Thread, it just doesn't seem like it's worth having ZigBee.

I'm still within my Amazon return window for my SONOFF ZigBee adapter, but the one thing stopping me is a fingerbot that I just installed, which is insanely useful. I just can't seem to find any equivalent that works with Matter, at all. Switchbot have a hub which translates from Matter to BLE, which isn't the same. There was a ThirdReality MT1 that I've seen on searches, but it seems to have been pulled from sale, and as well looks more tailored for American light switches.

Still banned even after ban expiry date. Fed up of this.

Previously I've posted here, and been banned for spam. I would get banned for spam, contact Discord, they'd go "oops, our fault, we'll unban you". They'd unban me, the violation would stay on my account, and the cycle would repeat. Hell, I got about 5 spam violations simply because I tried joining damnitjeff's Discord server.

Well, I got banned a couple days ago on 06 Sep 2026, for something that isn't spam this time. Apparently, non-consensual adult content. The only thing I can think of is posting gattouz0's face that same day, but that's it. Unsure what fucking else it could be, and I feel they probably won't show me what message did this - I've had 11 years on Discord so it could be anything. Originally, they put on a permanent suspension, but when I contested it the suspension was repealed within three minutes, then re-applied with a 24 hour suspension.

Now, you'd think I'd just wait it out, and get on with my life again? Well, as of writing this it's 08 Sep 2026, famously known to be after 07 Sep 2026. And yet... this still shows. Can't access anything still, can't access messages, servers, anything. Logging in just takes me to this page.

Meanwhile, I've sent in over 15 tickets to Discord regarding all these issues, and it's still an issue. I even sent in two about this issue, and they were both auto-closed. I sent in a third, which is somehow still miraculously open, so fingers crossed. But, even then, I sent in a ticket over a month and a half ago to delete some of my data, which is within my legal right, and they haven't done it.

I've put in complaints to both the ICO and Ofcom, but also I'm at the point now where, I don't know what to do. I can get restricted from contacting people I know, at any point, because of a broken system that's easily fixable. Instead, it's auto-responses or ignoring people. Hell, even tweeting at Discord Support doesn't yield results at this point. Even with 2 years of Nitro credited to my account, they don't care.

If anyone else has any options for getting my account back, I'm all ears. It's my birthday this week, and I'd rather spend it having contact with my friends than not. I don't want to be isolated from having contact once again.

And, if anyone from Discord is able to reach out to sort this, please do. I want to put an end to this, follow whatever rules I need to, and move on from this.

edit: here's some previous posts (1, 2, 3) on complaining about this. It's all on the same account still.

Who is n00nk4d?

There's a player that keeps joining waiting lobbies in TNT Tag. Some random VIP. He joins. He waits until 5 seconds before the game starts, then immediately leaves for the next TNT Tag lobby. He repeats. Why? What's the point of it? Is this some random bot gathering data? How do I opt-out of whatever the hell he's doing? Or, is he just doing it for the love of the game? I'm pretty sure it's automated as he doesn't respond to anything, the account just leaves after the 5-second countdown. Who is this kid??

Meta/Instagram requires me to set a "more secure email address"

I literally run my own email server, and can say as an absolute fact no one is in my email address. Unsure why they feel the need to dictate this.

Reolink Doorbell Solar Charger is coming!

I was once again revisiting how I could charge my doorbell without having to take it off and do it myself again, when I saw this article pop up on search: https://support.reolink.com/articles/52782263970457

https://preview.redd.it/q0be8iifiyeh1.png?width=1259&format=png&auto=webp&s=08c3e4428e48c32d2f023e5f832e7668645d04cc

I asked the support team, and they've said that it is a new release that's coming, so woo! It's almost like they saw my post from last year and decided to make it, which I am absolutely not complaining about :)
(I did actually ask support out of curiosity if that was seen, and was told "Yes, the mentioned post is one of the reasons why this new product was released." Cool!)

I also asked which doorbells it would work with, and they've said it will work with both the first Reolink battery video doorbell, and the second-gen video doorbell. So, good news all around - I'm personally a fan of the 'install once and forget' idea, where I don't have to think about charging it when the sun's out.

Blue sparkly roses at every door

Hi all, came home today to find a blue sparkly fake rose at my door. Thought it was odd, but a quick glance at my neighbours shows they also have blue roses at their doors and windowsills as well. Is this some marketing thing, or has someone decided to leave roses about? Or is it burglars trying to mark who's in and who's not?

Banned, for the third time, since March

I. Can't. Do. This. Anymore.

So the last time I posted here, I got banned for spam for the second time. I could easily say it was another bullshit ban, because it happened right after I posted some screenshots of emails. It's literally emails, who cares about that.

Anyway, I was sending a message to someone about doing some public speaking at an upcoming event, and was asking about call for content so I could maybe get in. And, you won't believe it folks... I got banned. Again. FOR THE THIRD TIME

The thing is, it'd be fine if it were ban evasion. "You skirted around our rules and we don't like that", I would understand that. But, this is on the same account. The same account where I have been banned. For spam. Then unbanned. Seriously, I've written a whole essay to them, and I just know I'm going to get their bullshit copy-paste "It looks like you got caught in our spam filter" YEAH NO SHIT

I just need. one. human. to. fix. this. properly.

when will that happen.

i have 28 months of nitro credit on that account too
