For all my enthusiasm about #Bluesky as a complement to the ActivityPub-based Fediverse, the truth is that the experience I've had trying to appeal to their ban of the well intentioned and harmless Agora Bot has me worried. They have ignored my appeal and messages so far, precisely like you'd expect from Support in any random corporation.
This coupled with the fact that someone can obviously ban an account globally for any reason or no reason is making me appreciate the #Fediverse even more.
“precisely like you’d expect from Support in any random corporation. “
@flancian this is exactly why I have had zero enthusiasm for BlueSky. It is just another random corporation. Probably a billion people have had the rug pulled on them by a fully enshittified Twitter, Facebook, Google, and still think they can expect BlueSky, a for-profit corporation from the Pacific coast of the US, to not follow the exact same process of enshittification. Do we all have a collective learning disability or something?
Plain old Stacy Malibu driven mentality.

Yeah I've heard some stories about people's bots being taken down, even from some friends…
@mackuba.eu thanks for the data points!
:( what's wrong with our silicon friends? Since when are they against the rules? Why is there an API in the first place if using it can have these results, and was there any announcement about this change of mind?
All questions that will hopefully be answered in time :)
