Sorry about that.

Hi @support.bsky.team
This is a fantastic content creator & very well trusted source for Australian users. He contributes a great deal to BlueSky
His account was hacked many weeks ago (@strangerous.bsky.social)
So far he's still waiting to get any info from you

So after letting me know weeks ago they’re investigating my hacked account @strangerous.bsky.social, BlueSky is still yet to let me know if they’ve actually done anything, I’m still being contacted about things hacker is doing with account. Should I give up? @support.bsky.team ? Anyone home?😔

We are working on launching an ALT DOGE website. It will soon feature a team page listing all of Elon’s staffers, our own wall of receipts (tracking the money he’s taking from America), and a section to help Americans keep tabs on the false claims on Doge’s website—which now exceed 52%.
