I just got mail about my appeal. They don’t care about anything, and never provided how i violated their policy. @sama Yes, you can get banned for no reason and they won’t tell you why.

Why I Quit @openclaw and Never Looked Back I was one of the early users. Day one. Back when it was still called ClawdBot. And the first feeling? Revolutionary. I genuinely felt like I was touching the future. An AI agent that could execute tasks on your machine — that was a different category from everything else at the time. But then reality set in. The thing kept breaking. Constantly. Warnings, errors, failures mid-task. I was spending more time fixing Open Claw than actually using it. The forums were full of people sharing workarounds — how to refresh memory, how to reinstall, how to patch this or that. A whole ecosystem of people debugging a tool that was supposed to save them time. That's not a tool. That's a hobby project dressed up as a tool. And then I saw a tweet from the OpenClaw founder that genuinely bothered me. He said — openly — that he intentionally designed Open Claw to be difficult. That it was built for technical users. That the barrier to entry was a feature, not a bug. Think about that for a second. Who gave anyone the right to decide who gets to use powerful technology and who doesn't? That philosophy directly contradicts what this whole space is supposed to be about. Technology should lower barriers, not build new ones on purpose. Then I found Hermes. from @NousResearch First session — no crashes. Second session — no crashes. Week one, month one, still going. Not a single failure since installation. That alone put it in a different category. But stability is just the floor. What made Hermes different is how it actually executes. I had a task I'd been trying to get OpenClaw to complete for a month. A real work task. Open Claw kept failing, losing context, breaking halfway through. I gave the same task to Hermes. Two days. Done. That's not a small gap. That's a completely different level of engineering. The moment that really showed me what Hermes was capable of — I asked it to send a file from my desktop to Telegram. The file was over 50MB. OpenClaw told me it couldn't do it. File too large. Sorry. I asked Hermes. Same limitation hit. But instead of stopping, it said: "The Skill doesn't support this directly. I'll build a skill to handle it." And within seconds — it built the skill, sent the file, and the skill was saved for future use. That's not an assistant. That's an agent. The difference matters. Hermes works cleanly on both Linux and Mac. The setup is straightforward — no programming background required, no deep technical knowledge needed. You install it, you configure it, you use it. The reliability feels like a product built by a serious team with serious infrastructure behind it. Open Claw feels like a brilliant idea that never got the engineering it deserved. The skill-building capability in Hermes is what separates it from everything else I've used. It doesn't just execute tasks — it learns from them, builds reusable workflows, and gets more capable the more you use it. Every time it solves a new problem, it builds a skill. Every skill makes it faster next time. That's a compounding tool. That's what an agent is supposed to be. If you're still wrestling with OpenClaw, trying to keep it alive between crashes and workarounds — I'm not judging you. I was there. But there's a better option, and the gap between them is wide enough that staying out of loyalty to the original doesn't make sense anymore. Hermes is what AI agents are supposed to feel like.
