Given that BlueSky is not genuinely "decentralized" as advertised, I can't simply take my account elsewhere. But I've said goodbye to many social media sites over the years. I can do it again.

It's been fun, everyone. My email address is in the resume in my pinned, if anyone has job leads to share.

…is a bridge too far. That goes beyond simple error, straight into the realm of "rank incompetence coupled with refusal to take responsibility." That is not a recipe for success.

It *is* in the bio of the alt account, but yeah, was me.

It's been fun, but holy shit the leadership of this place sucks.

When you wrongfully suspend a user and the email address you give them for questions or appeals does not even exist? That's not garden variety incompetence.

Yeah, I'm just about to jump ship. I've been in moderation positions before, so I'm generally going to extend way more grace than the average user. But this is pushing it.

And now they're spamming my inbox with the same message over and over.

NGL, after this experience, I'm leaning more and more toward going back to Reddit, or trying to create a Mastodon account again.

This was resolved, but completely unacceptable.

Bottom line is this.

(Also gonna tag in @rahaeli.bsky.social now. Wasn't gonna try to summon you to whine about my problems, because that would've been crass - but now that they're resolved, you may appreciate it. Or find it horrendous. Probably the latter.)

Unfortunately, it looks like OP also hasn’t been active in nearly a year. I hope they’re okay, but it seems unlikely they’re going to respond or do anything to clarify the labeler’s defunctness.

The labeler is apparently no longer taking reports either. Trying to report something to the labeler results in an error message that I’ve never seen before.

It was that "Stickergate" lady.

Honestly knowing some people are that stupid as to use their IRL phone number just... Kinda makes me upset I have scruples, because that people can get away with this shit while so many of the rest of us do things the legit way is just. Wow.

This is me too. I have a chosen name I use in many places, but I also use my legal birth name in most "professional" settings, etc.

Let me stumble across Suito Carito in Outer La Noscea, having a moment of quiet remembrance

Do the Alpha/Omega thing. Make them move every patch. Give them a rotation of relevant locations if you must.

I mean, same here. (Different reasons, though.)

At least having access is a plus.
