<p class="is-style-lead">Two collaborators on the Friend.Tech platform, known as YieldBouncer and Salience, reportedly lose chat access following their involvement in an aggregator tool.</p> 
<p>Friend.Tech, a decentralized social platform built atop a layer-2 network Base, reportedly banned two accounts from using the chat feature.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>The owners of these accounts, identified as YieldBouncer and <a href="https://twitter.com/saliencexbt/status/1703643050038510071" data-type="link" data-id="https://twitter.com/saliencexbt/status/1703643050038510071" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Salience</a> on X, pointed to their aggregators as the possible reason behind Friend Tech’s decision.</p> 
<p>According to Salience, the user found themselves barred from chatrooms shortly after teaming up with YieldBouncer and contributing to a Friendbook tool. YieldBouncer’s Friendbook “mirrors” otherwise private chats and allows anyone to access this content for free.</p>

<p>At press time, Salience noted that they reached out to Friend.Tech’s team via multiple platforms. The matter remained unresolved for now.&nbsp;</p>

<p>YieldBouncer scrutinized the app’s creators for treating some aggregators differently from others in a post on X.</p> 
<p>In a tweet on Sept. 15, the user also said some top Friend.Tech accounts were indeed aggregators, arguing that policies on such tools and indexes were unclear.</p> 
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"> 
 <p>“The irony: two out of the top five accounts on FT are aggregators. Clearly, FB wasn’t the only one to think that content should be more accessible to others. It seems like my mistake was not charging everyone for it.”</p> <cite>YieldBouncer on X</cite>

<p>While YieldBouncer insists that Friend.Tech unfairly handled the issue, other users shared contrasting views and opined that this outcome was inevitable.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>One user, DtDcTr, drew comparisons to other paid platforms like OnlyFans, while another user said YieldBouncer’s tool “eroded the basic value” of Friend.Tech’s platform.</p>
