I got banned from Bluesky

Thought I would try the new fangled media thing.
My first post got me an immediate ban.
It’s not a very inclusive platform 

what did you say? 

Knowing the OPs history it was probably racist.

Was it something anti Jeff Lynne?

I'm hoping he'll be honest and tell us what he did so he can learn and grow and not do his usual martyr complex thing. I know, I know, I'm hopelessly naive, but maybe one day he'll surprise us.

It was never intended to be an inclusive platform.  Personally I can't wait until they start having advertisements on it, that will be bloody funny seeing how many businesses fall foul of the required purity tests, and the outrage it will cause on the platform. People have already started campaigns to have journalists and news sites that are as left leaning if not more so than the Guardian and it's contributors banned from the platform.

I think inclusion is measured by community guidelines, not the number of posts one makes. Which of their community guidelines did you break?

Just because you have a view doesn't make it gospel. But you know this. Can't believe I'm replying.

I have a sinking feeling this will be one of his shoot and scoot threads, see how much shite he can stir up.

When have I ever said anything racist?

Answering my own post: looks like 2A "Harassment or abuse directed at a specific person or group, including but not limited to, sexual harassment and gender identity-based harassment"

and what were you hoping to achieve from asking this? How would it improve your life? Or were you just hoping to stir up shit?

Hopefully not as bad as this one where he wrote one sentence which misrepresented the study.

He was looking for someone to bite, except they didn’t take the bait and banned him.

Hilarious.

He was definitely hoping to stir up shit.  I don't think that's what Jesus would do.

You poor thing. All the anticipation of signing up and then tossing your grenade through the door, only to have it returned to you. I've heard Mumsnet are a feisty bunch, perhaps your humour would be more to their taste.

Jesus certainly didn't come across as a heaving douche.

Apart from his desire to send you to eternal damnation if you disagree with him

Ah. Fair point. Though you'd think he'd have known the general Synod would abolish hell.

You are just a small minded callous bigot. Change my mind.

Have you considered speaking to a mental health professional? 
Adopting a certain position and mindset is incredibly stifling and lonely.

There's quite a bit of hole-digging going on this week I must say.

Ah!

A well thought out opening submission supported by clear and reasoned argument and peer reviewed evidence. A statement that invites thoughtful discourse about the discoveries of science throughout history as our understanding of the universe becomes more detailed. A clearly expressed desire to learn and most importantly to have one's mind changed by evidence and not stick rigidly to a no longer supportable position, and certainly not an opening position that strongly suggests that the author has already decided to maintain their position irrespective of the information they might receive at any time in the future at all. Definitely a an opening position from someone with in-depth and up to date high level knowledge and qualifications in the fields of genetics, neuroscience, psychology and others necessary to present a genuinely informed argument on the subject.

Not at all a a simple dog whistle / bait / sealioning attempt to start a fight.

I particularly like that the opening Post invites a "you ok hun?" response and then doesn't explain the reason for the ban until a later post.

Edgelord attention seeker. 

Best left ignored. 

Move on, he'll get bored eventually 

You entered a community for no other purpose than to provoke an argument. They kicked you out. Why are you surprised? Juvenile behaviour.

Good. Bluesky is relatively free from racists and bigots. Next - this forum, hopefully,
