Your life data & willpower isn't a commodity.

Billionaires should be able to buy islands, business assets, property. In other words—actual commodities.

They shouldn't be able to buy YOU.

I fear that by Zuck & Musk buying platforms that harvest our personal data & pump us full of propaganda—they’ve begun to convince the world that our beliefs, our feelings, & our life data are commodities to be purchased & manipulated by the billionaire class.

When those assets actually belong exclusively to YOU.

They shouldn't have purchasing power of your beliefs, feelings, and life data.

But I find it hard to believe that even 5 people would have falsely reported me on a day in which I had zero controversial posts.

This was the only post I made that day.

So it had to have been an intentional attack of this post. 💯

I THINK that Bluesky relies on the moderation of others. It will lock your account automatically after a certain number of people report you.

They did not share with me what that number is, so I have no way of knowing if only 5 people reported me. Or if 25 people reported me.

The point of rallies is so that locals will attend, hear their ideas, & vote for them, right?

Trump seemed to do them to create a type of cult following to make him appear popular in every state & city.

But if these were MAGA groupies, then he actually wasn't organically popular in those cities.

I suspect they were following him around the country, with decked out MAGA cars, making it look like he had loyal fans.

Nothing about it was organic or a normal political relationship.

His was 2,000 seats, while Harris filled 9,000.

Hers had amazing vibe. Organic, normal people. With happy souls.

Point is: a rally should be support for your candidate.

They didn't even go inside. They weren't interested in Trump at all. Like they didn't even come to hear him speak.

They stood outside harassing us in MAGA costumes.

If that's not paid groupies, I don't know what is.

A good portion of them were from out of town. I had never seen their cars.

They looked like a traveling MAGA circus.

Another man drove around the block about 700 times & every time he passed us, he rolled down his window to say nasty things for a minute, then drove on, & drove around again. 🙄

Trump had paid protestors in 2024.

I did an anti-Trump protest at his rally in Savannah. It was like a fascist comic-con.

Everybody in costumes, cars covered in MAGA stickers, & Trump paraphernalia.

People were nasty & hateful.

One man came over yelling in our face, spitting from anger.

The posts are still there, but all of my comments and replies are invisible. So I can't explain to people why I've been marked as spam even on my own posts. (Which is why I'm responding from this account).

We had cold nights in Dec, but somehow the mosquitos just rehatched and began sucking our blood again.

It was very annoying. And now they're all coming back only 3 months later!! 😵

We're on the coast so we're hotter than Atlanta, which is sort of in the mountains. 1,000 ft above sea level.

I like temps between 50° & 70° too. That's the best. 😅

We're approaching bug season in Savannah.

Bug season is between April and ... late October.

But I was actually still using bug repellent all the way until Christmas last year. 🤪

Bug season is high humidity, 85°-95°, non-stop bug repellent.

Thank you! ☺️

Let's hope they sort it out tomorrow. I appealed it about 24 hours ago. But I think they have a smallish team of moderators.

Though I'm feeling very cut off. So many things I want to say.

This profile isn't meant to be political so, the followers are different.

Gorgeous! I've never seen them before! I wonder if they have a strong smell. Some flowers don't.

Yeah, I'm trying to find out how many reports had to be made before the automation kicked in.

Also, I was in contact with the moderation team when it happened.

I'd received a warning, so I emailed to ask what rule I'd broken and as I was replying to them, the automated freeze kicked in anyway. 🤨

Thanks so much! I hope they will appeal it! 🤞

If not, I will have to begin using my 2nd account for activism.

Also, Bluesky really doesn't have the staff for this. Which I understand.

Of the 4 or 5 emails I've sent to moderation over the past few months, only 1 personal reply has been sent. All others were ignored.

So I have no idea when they will even see my appeals or respond back to me.

I have to wonder how many complaints I received in order for my entire account to be labeled as spam.

I can't even make replies answering people's questions about why I'm spam, because my comments are also hidden & considered spam.

I hope it's a high #, so MAGA has to work to get someone banned.

30.03.2025 19:28 — 👍 6    🔁 1    💬 1    📌 0

That's a good point!!

They know they'll get blocked immediately for making nasty comments, so creating false reports is the next available step for their trolling. 😮‍💨😵

Blocking trouble makers preemptively keeps us off their radar.

Thanks! I had hoped the MAGA trolls would have me on a block list to save me the trouble.

But I actually think they were watching the account of the lawyer in the video.

She reposted me & thanked me for sharing her testimony. Within a couple of hours, I had been reported to Bluesky multiple times.

And the only other post I made on my Resist Rebel Revolt account yesterday was a clip of Chris Murphy showing kindness to a little girl at a town hall.

So if it wasn't the censorship video that made the trolls mad, it was a video showing kindness.

Posting this censorship video on my activism @resistrebelrevolt.net got me reported by trolls as spam. 😵

It was shared 700x, with 150 comments showing appreciation to the constitutional lawyer who gave expert testimony on how conservatives were gaslighting us on free speech.

👏🏼 She's 110% right! ✊🏼

That's it exactly! To get me banned, they have to send multiple reports.

I was given 1 warning, but I emailed mod to ask what rule I was breaking.

I received an email back, but was sent a 2nd automated warning & then my whole account was labeled spam.

Which means people were still reporting me.
