UPDATE 2: On February 12, 2020, LetterBoxd has reinstated our account.
Our Letterboxd page for Society Reviews has been removed without notice. As you see in the link provided all 500+ reviews posted on the site have been scrubbed clean and all links to our page and reviews are currently broken. Seeing how there was no notice of a violation of terms and service we are only led to believe that someone was not happy about the opinions and views towards certain films on a site that allegedly encourages the expression of opinion on the film. As all of our LetterBoxd exclusive reviews are sadly gone, Our four-year catalog of movie reviews remains right here on the main site. We hope to have more information for you on a later date.
UPDATE 1: Letterboxd has confirmed that our account has been deleted for the following reason according to them:
Your account was removed from our service because several of your reviews were in serious breach of our community policy.
https://letterboxd.com/legal/community-policy/
You must not use the Service to promote, engage in or incite hate, violence, discrimination or intolerance, including based on race, age, gender, gender identity, ethnicity, religion, disability or sexual orientation.

Oh wow….that’s horrible. Any reason you can think of to why they would do that?
They never gave a reason why. We only found out about an hour ago after trying to add some new reviews for this week. Our guess is that the platform didn’t like some of our views toward more politically polarizing films. This has also happened to a follower of ours with the same MO. I guess all opinions aren’t welcome
But, you didn’t invoked hate or violence, you were just giving you’re honest opinion about any movie. Clearly a leftist false flagged you.
Heheh, welcome to the party pal.

Just spitballing here, but how difficult would it be to have some pros write a “copy” of Letterboxd? Not similar enough to violate copyright, but that shouldn’t to be difficult, it doesn’t look like a particularly complete app. You might check out some options with some web coding professionals and then run a kickstarter.
I’m just going to leave this here:

Congrats on a full article from conservative reviewer Christian Toto. Let’s hope it boosts your web profile.
Also, hang in there.
Welp, I had never heard of you before you got banned … but anyone banned by progressives and interviewed by HiT is worth a look. So you are now the 2nd site I will read movie reviews on …
… up by 100% from the number of movie review sites I read yesterday.
Came here from HiT. Looking forward to reading your movie reviews. 🙂
I just read about your site and your being banned. You just gained a new reader.
Heard about this from Josiah’s You tube. Sorry man.

Well you just gained another new reader in me.
