Paledoptera 🦋 @paledoptera.bsky.social · 16h

honestly i'm considering it too

Paledoptera 🦋 @paledoptera.bsky.social · 16h

it just seems very suspicious that this post specifically gets affected and immediately de-listed when i could post like normal literally seconds later

Paledoptera 🦋 @paledoptera.bsky.social · 16h

so what's the technical reason for specifically this post being affected when none of my other posts from the last 12 hours have been affected, including several with images

Even more proof that bsky are quite literally suppressing people they don't like.

i dunno what got MY post hidden, whether it was asking for other socialmedia site recommendations or just saying "pathetic knee-oh-nat-see" but it is complete bullshit eitherway

this is really fucked and i encourage people to start looking for alternatives to bsky

i've seen other people complaining about their posts being deleted or shadowbanned, most notable example being @hausofdecline.bsky.social

i've also heard a lot of people who got suspended for saying ANYTHING about charlie kirk when he was murdered, though citation needed on that

the heritage foundation (authors of project 2025 and big ties to the trump administration) recently opened a bsky account and apparently a member of the bsky moderation is following them, as well as being listed as involved with the organization on wikipedia

further context:

jay, the ceo of bsky, has been facing backlash lately after a lot of really stupid choices by the moderation team (allowing large republican figures to stay on the platform and iirc censoring trans people)

she "responded" to the criticism by posting waffle pictures /srs

Paledoptera 🦋 @paledoptera.bsky.social · 18h

i had no connection problems as the screenshots posted fine seconds later

i got no message or warning that my post was removed for violating any guidelines

just poof, gone

Paledoptera 🦋 @paledoptera.bsky.social · 18h

Feels like Bluesky is becoming milkshake duck really fast, tbh...

in the early days i forgave the wonky algorithm, the lack of engagement and the lack of features because "hey! at least its a place that isnt run by nazis that wont tolerate my existence!"

that was the ONE thing this site had going for it for fucks sake. that was its ONE advantage

autumn @waveprism.bsky.social · 3d

really awesome that there's legit just no online safe space for trans people en masse. it feels like every single time one is *about* to be, the mod team bends over backwards to protect the people who hate us and something fucking stupid like this happens
