It's Sakher 🍉 @sakher23.bsky.social · 10h

My name is Sakher, and this is my new account — after my old one was suddenly taken down.
For the past 4 days, I’ve been silent… not because I wanted to, but because I lost my only voice — the place where I used to speak to the world.

They say the war is over... but the pain inside me hasn’t ended.
The bombs may have stopped falling, but the struggle is far from over.
I'm Sakher — a young man who lost everything in this war.
My home… gone. My memories, my work, my future all destroyed

Every father dreams of giving his children safety —
but for me, safety means a roof that won’t disappear tomorrow. 🏠💔

We’re short on this month’s rent — $500 needed before the 15th —and without it, my children will have nowhere to sleep in peace.

Your kindness can be our shelter this month. 🙏❤️

I’m Reem, from Gaza. The war may be over, but we still live in the middle of its ashes. I was a college student. I was studying, dreaming and planning a life of hope but I lost everything in my home. My family’s livelihood has been erased💔😭

I'm sakher
God willing, this will be the end of the war.
Today, a preliminary ceasefire agreement was announced between the parties, and our hearts are full of hope that this will be the beginning of peace — after all the destruction, pain, and loss.

Yes, he seemed very disappointed. Hopefully Bluesky will take his appeal seriously. I appreciate everyone standing by him.

It's as if they want people to correct their behavior, and if they do it doesn't matter. This only contributes to moderation problems by reinforcing that your behavior makes no difference, they will delete your account regardless.

Bluesky removed Ahmed's (@shaahmed.bsky.social) account. He still needs your support to prepare for winter and buy food. I know he has a lot of friends here that have continued to stand by him. Please contribute if you can and share his fundraiser since he is unable to right now.

Your lack of clear communication creates an environment where people who follow the rules are still removed. Your response to Ahmed's appeal was copy & paste and not based in an actual review of his Bluesky profile.
You all can fix this moderation behavior and you choose not to, why?

@moderation.bsky.app Please restore Ahmed's (@shaahmed.bsky.social) account. He posts new and unique content everyday and does not spam people. Ahmed has many friends on Bluesky and contributes to your community.
