Got banned from a Facebook gardening group for sharing a real hack

I posted a tip about using a tiny drop of dish soap in a spray bottle to kill aphids without harming bees. Some admin claimed I was promoting 'unverified pesticide use' and booted me within an hour. I even linked to a university extension office study from Oregon State that proved it works. Has anyone else been kicked out of a niche group for sharing something that actually helped you?

You ever get banned from a group and realize you probably deserved it for being too helpful? I once got kicked out of a DIY home repair group for suggesting WD-40 could fix a squeaky door hinge. Guess they thought I was trying to start a solvent-based revolution.

Wait, did they expect you to use magic instead of WD-40?
