Bluesky is considering labeling me as a spammer. Just got the email.

I have read their terms of service and didn't see a violation.

I will appeal. I guess I'd like to know which of my posts have been irrelevant.
I'm guessing they don't like my "Countering the Propaganda:" posts where I asks critical questions of MAGA news items.

Does anyone here have any exerience with this?

Here's the email:

I followed BlueSky's instructions to fix account and it looks like everything is fine.

Also I started using one of the available programs to find out who is blocking me and putting my account on lists.This has been helpful. There are a number of accounts out there that are posing as dems resisting but they are actually trouble makers. I've blocked them.

So, that's it for now.
