BlueSky is a bad site used by good people. That describes most social media sites. But BlueSky is egregiously unethical. Any of you can be disappeared for baseless reasons. I've been on social media for 17 years and never been suspended. BlueSky is the first place to do so โ€“ over Johnny Cash lyrics.

Can I turn your phrase and say, BlueSky is a good site abused by bad people? All social media sites wind up in the hands of abusers who scalp or clip people who post on them. Glad you're back.

On the other site, election night (morning really of the next day), Trump declared victory and I quite literally just QUOTED Trump. Twitter permabanned me. I appealed each day for months on principle, and around March or April was reinstated. But I never felt... disappeared? Just pissed.

"Disappeared" is a HORRIBLE & extremely silly choice of words.
Having a social media account suspended or banned can be upsetting, but *actual humans are being actually disappeared daily* in this country and your Bluesky suspension is meaningless in comparison.

Gain some fkn perspective, will you?

It feels like Bsky is the new Xitter. But I'm hearing similar comments about Substack now, which makes sense - a social media war against 'the libs' by the Trump regime.

"Any of you can be disappeared for baseless reasons."

...Maybe you wanna rephrase that? I get that having big parts of your digital footprint erased on bullshit grounds totally sucks, but at a time when ICE & CBP roam the streets, "be disappeared" means something else. You studied Stalin, right?

Back when I had an account on Xitter, I got a suspend for suggesting Kanye West was mentally handicapped (which he obviously is). Also for suggesting a petulant Canadian politician hold his breath till he turns blue to get what he wants. That was twigged as encouragement for self harm.

Sure Iโ€™ll get flamed here, they missed the context obviously and your point went over their heads, but your words could definitely be read as problematic.

Yes, quoting the absolutely best known Johnny Cash lyrics as a response to an article about Johnny Cash is completely unparseable.
Vs.
The moderation team headed by a Nazi transphobe who runs defense for his pedophile pals banned a leftist writer with the flimsiest excuse ever.

Saying you want to kill someone is considered pretty actionable on most social media sites and expecting mods to investigate context is a big ask. Maybe just accept that you weren't clear that you were paraphrasing song lyrics and avoid posting in a similar way going forward.

Just a thought, if people are reprimanding you for a word, it means you need to learn to be more careful for future reference.

I think it's weird to frame it as disappearing considering the IRL situation + being disingenuous about the ban. Do better next time please.

I have been suspended from basically every social media site a handful of times and you know what? I spent the time with friends, cooking something nice, going to the park, reading, etc. If you think "being disappeared" and catching a 72 hr ban are the same, you have a severe social media addiction

As an undocumented immigrant, I would gently suggest that you use any other term other than disappeared to describe a temporary suspension. Or even a ban.

You have another large platform. People would hear from you again.

Mmm, I broadly agree that your suspension (and the recent one of Patton Oswalt) was bullshit, but "getting disappeared" is a wild way to frame it, considering the *gestures vaguely at America*

BlueSky could have shared a screenshot of my tweet showing the Oct 10 timestamp and that I was using Johnny Cash lyrics to quote-tweet about an article on Johnny Cash. Instead, they made it look like I issued a random death threat and falsely claimed I posted it this week. They should apologize.

They didn't say you posted it this week: they said you posted 11/10. In Ireland where the Bluesky head of Trust And Safety is that's 11 October. They later said they meant 10/10; either they made a mistake about the date or it was a time zone issue. And they say there was a month delay responding.

Ironically, I joined BlueSky to have a back-up of information I had posted on Twitter in case I was banned from there. In the end, it was BlueSky who banned me. I now have to spend my time saving I anything of value that I posted here and not elsewhere.
