Of course, the big downside of having an unusual name is that I am very easy to find. I'd definitely be a sitting duck if I pissed off the wrong people.

Being able to use "firstname.lastname" as your username without having to append a bunch of numbers is one of the perks of having an unusual name!

One should assume, if one had not already, that every single thing the GOP has to say about pretty much anything is a lie or fabrication.

Let's be crystal clear the reason for his ban is goalpost moving because the CEO didn't like being called out for racism and bigotry.
That's it. That's literally it.
Been offline for a lot of the day so just now seeing they permabanned Link? AJ Link? A person who has done more community activism and organizing than I can reasonably name and one of the kindest, most giving, consistently community-building forces on this website? They fyckiung banned *Link*? jmfc

Basically all ATproto apps/projects?
WHAT THE HELL IS THE POINT OF THIS PROJECT THEN?
Link Jabari got his account permabanned because Jay misread a post of his. Despite all evidence of no wrongdoing on Link's part, Jay will not budge on reinstating his account.
This also revealed that joining other instances on Bsky doesn't mean you can dodge Bsky moderation, as Link was on Blacksky
