I'm not like that, I think satellites are awesome.

I added [[Bluesky embeds]] to the Agora, so now when you visit a location where posts have been linked they will be shown (like we already did for Mastodon and X.)
Thank you @velitchkov.eu for reporting this feature was missing! :)

#PSA: Turned out I complained about Bluesky after they suspended @anagora.bsky.social but, full disclosure, I think they were right to suspend it given a bug that was live; and they reached out to me via a reasonable channel I was just not monitoring :)
Thank you @support.bsky.team for resolving!

Oh yes! We're back!!!
I didn't receive a response to my appeal (that I know of) but finally the Agora was unsuspended, so it seems someone in Bluesky *is* paying attention and reviewing appeals!

Iran’s internet blackout may become permanent, with access for elites only
The regime is testing a two-tier internet where access becomes a vetted privilege. Its economic cost could be staggering.

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.
