And given the state of bluesky moderation is also things like "I was not given any explanation for my suspension the first two times I inquired. Later I was told it was for the “Folsom Prison Blues” reference", they get no benefit of the doubt from me.

So, when you leave out "to watch him die" when trying to explain what happened, that strikes me as at least as disingenuous as whatever Kendzior was supposedly doing. (I dunno what specifically is being referenced here since no links are given. I'm just going on what I've seen.)

She doesn't claim it's a direct quote, so what's the point of arguing that it's not? She explicitly said it was a reference. See image, 3d ago.

Bluesky Safety claims she "expressed a desire to shoot the author". The fact that it's (a) a reference and (b) unserious are both relevant to that claim.

Note too that "just to watch him die" arguably makes it harder to take it seriously as a threat, because it's not a very serious reason. (Again, *arguably*.) So, again, leaving that out... not an accurate characterization of the situation.

Like, yes, the whole thing is a mess, but no points from me for claiming she wrote "i want to shoot the author of this article" vs "I shot a man", when the actual situation CRUCIALLY includes "just to watch him die" in both lines, which cements it being a reference. WHO is being misleading here?

congrats!

FWIW, not that you're actually asking for advice, but if you want any: use a flashlight. Possibly held at a low angle, but even just at eye-level, it can cause metals to glint or just stand out more obviously. Phone flashlight maybe, but I find things fast with real flashlight with more intensity.
