The Bluesky is a lying. Here is Sarah's response on Substack, "BlueSky is lying and saying I posted this line on November 10. I did not. I posted it in early October, when the WSJ article came out. You can see that they are lying about the date from this page showing my last BlueSky tweets..."

@support.bsky.team, I wish to raise an alarming concern that Bluesky has unjustly removed Sarah Kendzior from its platform without cause or due process. I, among many, find the company's behavior unacceptable and request that Sarah's account be reinstated immediately.

Bring back Sarah Kendzior. Unsuspend her account immediately.

Sarah Kendzior | Substack Author of THEY KNEW, HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT, THE VIEW FROM FLYOVER COUNTRY and THE LAST AMERICAN ROAD TRIP.

Hey!! @support.bsky.team! What on earth is going on? Why is @sarahkendzior.bsky.social suspended? Why haven't you responded to her questions? This is NOT a good look.

Everyone who doesn't already subscribe to Sarah Kendzior on substack should remedy that right now: substack.com/@sarahkendzior

@bsky.app Why did you suspend Sarah Kendzior? Many of us have found her to be a voice of sanity for the last nine years. We came to blue sky because of her. WTF?

Post from Sarah Kendzior on her Substack account, dated 11/10/2025:

โ€œIโ€™ve been suspended from BlueSky. I donโ€™t know why. I wasnโ€™t online much today, and the last things I posted were excerpts from my substack newsletter articles. The suspension followed without explanation. 

It seems thereโ€™s a crackdown. If you enjoy my work and want to make sure you can access it, subscribe! Itโ€™s free โ€” I would never paywall in times of peril โ€” and voluntary paying subscribers keep it going. It would be great to have your support at this time. Thanks!โ€

WTH @safety.bsky.app @support.bsky.team ? Please reinstate author and historian Sarah Kendzior. #booksky #authors

Why? Sarah Kendzior is one of the main reasons I moved here. If you're going to just be Twitter-lite than there's no point in staying. You can't suspend an account of her magnitude and expect it to go unnoticed and unchallenged @jay.bsky.team @aaron.bsky.team @support.bsky.team

11.11.2025 15:11 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 30    ๐Ÿ” 8    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 2

Simple reinstatement of Sarah Kendzior isnโ€™t enough at this point:

1. Reinstatement;
2. Investigation and disclosure of what caused the suspension; and
3. Transparent, clear, specific and public rules about how accounts are suspended.

Joining in the chorus to say that banning Sarah Kendzior from Bluesky is insane. What up @bsky.app @safety.bsky.app ?

Dear @bsky.app @safety.bsky.app kicking Sarah Kendzior off this platform? Really? WTF is that all about. No explanation, just an instant turf. This is concerning. She needs to be reinstated.

Iโ€™d like to know, too. In what way did Sarah Kendzior violate the terms of use here, please? @bsky.support?

I have no use for a platform that suspends writers like Sarah Kendzior, and I suspect neither do thousands of others.

Hey @bsky.app, why was Sarah Kendzior suspended?

This @sarahkendzior ???

@support.bsky.team what are you thinking? She is an internationally renowned author and American anthropologist.

This is a very bad direction to go in.

11.11.2025 05:29 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 130    ๐Ÿ” 65    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2    ๐Ÿ“Œ 5

Bluesky suspended Sarah Kendzior today for no reason whatsoever. She just shared excerpts of her articles, which were as always incisive and not offensive at all. Hey @pfrazee.com this is super not OK. I know her- we've interacted a fair bit via chats and her work is essential.

11.11.2025 05:02 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1377    ๐Ÿ” 650    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 55    ๐Ÿ“Œ 2

Holy shit. Bring back Sarah Kendzior immediately, she's one of the most urgently needed voices of our time.

11.11.2025 17:20 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 144    ๐Ÿ” 62    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 5    ๐Ÿ“Œ 1

WTAF? Sarah Kendzior suspended? For what? Blue sky is going in a bad direction if they are suspending voices like hers.

Hey @support.bsky.team What is going on with Sarah Kendzior? Why was she suspended with no explanation? Are you doing this to lesser-known people that weโ€™re never going to find out about?

If Bluesky will suspend writers like Sarah Kendzior, then I have no use for this platform. It's less than useless.

Bluesky Social media as it should be. Find your community among millions of users, unleash your creativity, and have some fun again.

If Sarah Kendzior is indeed blocked on @bsky.app, this is a completely unjustified and highly questionable move. Sarah Kendzior is among the best voices of knowledge-based critical journalism in the US. See to it that this is corrected immediately and with an apology, @pfrazee.com!
