Unfortunate update: Link reached out to BlueSky and got email back now on reason.

His appeal is denied. He will remain permanently banned on BlueSky’s side.

Here are the screenshots he just sent me as of 8:22 AM EST(my time)
A screenshot of an email from the Bluesky Moderation Team with the subject line “Bluesky Account Behavior” sent at 22:15. The email states that a Bluesky account controlled by the recipient, with the handle @spacelawshitpost.me, posted a reply with an image where the alt text reads: Charlie Kirk sitting in a white T-shirt that says “Freedom.” A negative consequence follows. The email indicates this post violates Community Guidelines regarding violent or threatening speech, specifically listing threats of violence or physical harm against individuals, groups, institutions, or the general public, and incitement of self-harm or suicide.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ A screenshot of an email continuation from the Bluesky Moderation Team displaying a bulleted list of Community Guidelines violations. The first bullet point describes threats of violence or physical harm as including threats or encouragement of violence against individuals, groups, institutions, or the general public. The second bullet point defines incitement of self-harm or suicide as content that encourages self-harm or suicide. The third bullet point explains wishes of harm as expressions of a desire for harm directed at a specific person or group. Below the bullets, a paragraph states that users may not use Bluesky to break the law or cause harm to others and that all users must be treated with respect. The next paragraph informs the recipient that as a result of these violations, your account has been taken down. A closing paragraph thanks the user for doing their part to keep Bluesky a welcoming and empowering place for all users and instructs them to email moderation@blueskyweb.xyz if they have questions or wish to appeal the decision. The email ends with the signature Bluesky Moderation Team.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ A screenshot of an email reply from a user with the initials AJ and profile picture to the Bluesky Moderation Team, sent at 08:01 with the subject line Re: Bluesky Account Behavior. The email states the user wants to appeal the decision, asserting there was no threatening or violent connotation behind their use of the image. The user explains that the Charlie Kirk post is not a threat but rather a reaction meme expressing disappointment, with no threat made and no incitement of violence. The user mentions they have attached multiple examples and explanations, specifically 12 images in total, demonstrating the use of the image as a reaction meme. Below this text is a blue hyperlink to a Bluesky post URL. At the bottom of the screenshot is an embedded image showing a Bluesky post from a user with the handle @britculpsapp.bsky.social with several emoji reactions and a repost indicator showing Bluesky Elder.

The timestamp shows October 5, 2025 at 3:34 PM.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ A screenshot of an email from the Bluesky Moderation Team sent at 08:11 with the subject line Re: Bluesky Account Behavior addressed To: Hide My Email. The email reads:

Did you honestly think you could get away with this without repercussions? Did you stop to think, for even a second, that Link has friends here who would keep his followers base up to date on your awful handling of this situation?

Do you think we're going to let this go quietly?

You're mistaken.

Important update, with emails sent 9 hours apart,

Link said the alt text they gave in email isn’t him. He does not write in all lowercase .

Screenshot of text message sent just now of him replying to me.
A screenshot of an iMessage conversation at 2:05 with 36% battery. The conversation is with contact AJ whose profile picture and initials appear at the top center, with an X button in the top right corner. The screen shows a black message bubble containing an email from the Bluesky Moderation Team that reads:

Hi there,

A Bluesky account you control (@spacelawshitpost.me) posted:

“image with alt text: charlie kirk moments before death”
The image was used in a reply implying or anticipating the death of Charlie Kirk, giving it a threatening and violent connotation.

This post violates our Community Guidelines regarding violent or threatening speech. This includes, but is not limited to, the following:

• Threats of violence or physical harm: This includes threats or encouragement of violence against individuals, groups, institutions, or the

Below the email is a timestamp reading “Today 1:55 PM” followed by two blue message bubbles stating “I’m so sorry I missed this one” and “I am posting it in follow up. This was after the first one right? Like an hour apart” marked as Delivered. Below are two gray message bubbles reading “No it was 9 hours later.” and “And also, I never write in all lowercase so I know I didn’t write that.” At the bottom is a purple notification stating “AJ has notifications silenced” above a reply input field with a plus button on the left and microphone icon on the right.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

i think it is fair to request a statement from @jay.bsky.team on TRANS PEOPLE and where we fit in on @bsky.app.

i think as a transgender journalist, it's acceptable and makes sense for me to ask this

and so, the question, am i not a person as a trans girl and do i not deserve to feel safe here?

I would like to say a very whole hearted 'fuck you' to @jay.bsky.team

Trans folk and sex workers are the only reason this place was successful.

You promised us safety. You promised us a place to be ourselves without judgement or prejudice. You betrayed us.

You're a fucking coward.

I blocked Jesse Singal months ago. Today I mistakenly clicked a link to his profile, only to find out he was no longer on my block list.

Even if you've already blocked him, go back and check because it very much seems like the bsky team are fucking with who we have blocked.
