This is a warning to every artists and clients using PayPal: Leave the note blank or send invoices. Apparently even saying "commission" makes them trigger happy. #SaveSpeech #StopPaypros

And continue the pressure by calling PayPal. Helpful link here: anti-censorship-campaign.carrd.co#phonescript

here at the Katie Tightpussy School of Optics we like to stress that Optics Matter. one example of this is that even if link's post is actionable (which is debatable but besides the point), an immediate perma of a vocal critic is a bad look, especially when you're already being accused of racism etc

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 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:

Hi there,

Thank you for reaching out to appeal the takedown of your account on Bluesky. We have carefully reviewed your case, including the information you provided and the activity that led to the suspension of your account.

After investigating, we have determined that your account activity was in violation of our community guidelines, specifically promoting hateful content or being disruptive to other users. We take these guidelines seriously to ensure a safe and respectful environment for all our users.

As a result, we regret to inform you that your appeal has been denied, and your account will remain suspended. This decision is final and cannot be reversed. We understand that this may be disappointing news, but we must prioritize the well-being of our community and maintain a consistent enforcement of our policies. We encourage you to review our community guidelines to better understand the expectations we have for user behavior on our platform. Please do not create new accounts, since those will be taken down for ban evasion.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Drawn is a dynamically posed taur with mischief and gremlin energy in spades.

Drawn is a MLP pony drawn in a very cartoony style. The character is clown themed and has a ruffle clown collar and party blower with confetti

Pictured is a goth dressed Giraffe with long hair and a nose ring as well as a fang decoration and snake bites. Also the nose piercing is like a bridge over top instead of hanging down the nose. The hands have hooflets that grew like fingernails and the underside has the grippy part of them under it.

Picture of a dragon looking back with long white whiskers whipping to the side. Space and mountains in the background with a space and abstract theme.

and hey on the topic of ID laws

do you really trust Bluesky, whose admin and c-suites physically cannot stop themselves from posting-through-it, to be able to hold onto your fucking govt ID and not leak it in a data breach like Discord?

these policies suck, they are dangerous, call your reps

Drawn is me falling into hands that can represent corruption or death which are being pierced and destroyed by Emma's healing / purification magic while she is desperately trying to put all she can into it to save me as my eyes are glazed over and I appeared dead until she came and I put my arm around her a bit after she put hers after me. She hasn't noticed and is crying and terrified.

btw telling an artist you like their OC/want to see more has a lot more impact than numbers of likes and shares... obv those are appreciated too, but you don't really know what ppl sharing your art think of it unless they tell you. and it feels really nice to know! a kind comment goes a long way :)
