Why on EARTH would anyone suspend Goran?? @safety.bsky.app and @support.bsky.team get him back on here. What are you doing??
Hey @bsky.app @safety.bsky.app @support.bsky.team please unsuspend Goran immediately.
Goran is a great person, a great artist, and the whole anti-Palestine thing youre on is one of those "Ford funding Hitler" disasters you remember being shocked and dismayed by when you learned of in middle school.
