I was recently labeled “rude” for expressing elation that noted war criminal Richard Cheney is no longer with us. I’d say something about the cold oppression of “civility” here but it would probably get labeled, so please, check your filter settings!
If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.
