The homeowner told agents she would not allow them inside because the warrant they presented did not include her address and lacked a judge's signature.”

"Agents took her to a side alley, beat her up, then called an ambulance," witness said.

As someone who rarely/does not post nsfw - this new bluesky TOS feels like a dubious slippery slope since LGBTQIA+ media has been caught up in itchio’s nsfw cull.
The nsfw label system is great.
Sure, if u want, it can be made better. ask for suggestions to improve it instead of this vague rule.
