- @support.bsky.team, I wish to raise an alarming concern that Bluesky has unjustly removed Sarah Kendzior from its platform without cause or due process. I, among many, find the company's behavior unacceptable and request that Sarah's account be reinstated immediately.

You can't suspend an account of her magnitude and expect it to go unnoticed and unchallenged @jay.bsky.team @aaron.bsky.team @support.bsky.team

- Reposted by Ken HoldenDragonflies and Damselflies have been around for 300 Million years, they live up to 6 months & feed on mosquitos & other insects, keeping numbers in check. They are a good species to have around as they require clean water, indicating a good ecosystem & they do not bite or sting contrary to rumour.

While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
